A SHORT HISTORY OF RAMSHACKLICIOUS

They'd been thinking about making a new show together and they'd heard that Cirque Bijou were looking to commission a new piece of street theatre to be performed at the Harbourside festival, Bristol. "We'll do that, then", said Jack, and Holly agreed. So they set to work writing a proposal...

Holly said, "We'll probably need something on wheels"
"Yeah, how about a coffin?" Jack replied.
"Yeah, a coffin... I like it. A coffin with an eccentric dying grandparent in it."
"Yeah and maybe a dead cat in it's own little coffin on wheels trailing after it"
"Yeah and maybe a little tiny mouse coffin trailing after the cat coffin"
"Yeah and maybe there should be three grandsons pulling the coffin whilst playing funeral marches and occasionally slipping into accidental Dixie-land jazz and bossa nova classics."
"Yeah and maybe they should all be on roller-skates"
"No, that would be stupid".

"I am sure this new generation
of performers will delight
and wow audiences for
many more years to come"
Richard Stamp,
aka Stompy [dotComedy]

"The National street arts
scene NEEDS more of
this sort of theatre"
Richard Headon [Desperate Men]
