Ocelot Gymkhana ...

An evening of short, comic plays by The Brothers Kaufman.

Enter, if you dare, the weird and wonderful world of the Brothers Kaufman as they present a smorgasbord of drama with a side-salad of comedic strangeness: public nudity, Sicilian vendettas, holiday affairs, ocelot gymkhana, bullying teachers, chocolate éclairs, frustrated playwrights, ocelot gymkhana, male mammary glands, Leonardo da Vinci...ocelot gymkhana... (Adult material, not suitable for children.)

About the plays:

All approx 10 mins or less, the plays have a wide variety of styles and themes. Mostly comic, the Brothers like to explore the stranger side of life. With a cast of eight professional actors, they investigate the private life of Leonardo da Vinci, the romantic dalliances of a frustrated would-be artist on holiday, the diverse offerings of an adult learning centre, the paranoid delusions of suburban man and the tortured logic of a teacher confronted with a very peculiar case of bullying. Simple stagings and costumes bring to life the varied locations and bizarre range of characters and the whole evening is accompanied by the original musical stylings of Brother Julian.
