Snake Boy Takes Manhattan

Comedy • Clown
International • World Premiere

For the last 30 years, Snake Boy was raised by a family of red-bellied black snakes in the Australian Outback. Now, he's leaving his life behind to follow his dreams in New York. But how can he ever say "I'm walking here" if he's never walked? Snake Boy needs your help. Teach him hotdogs and bagels! Teach him Broadway! Teach him arms and legs! 
 
Alexander Richmond presents the international premiere of the sequel to his award-winning show 'The Marvellous Snake Boy'. Throughout the course of the evening, the audience assists Snake Boy in preparing for his journey to NYC. The aim of the show is to create a safe space where the audience and performer can interact without fear of recrimination or embarrassment, where the dialogue between them can help shape the show and the story.
