Troll
Direct from their critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe debut comes 'Troll': an ★★★★ "irresistibly silly” The Guardian, two-troll clown comedy about connection, scape(goat)ing and being misunderstood.
Fed up with years of misrepresentation, villainization and exclusion, two trolls find themselves in a theatre, ready and desperate to tell their side of the story and the truth about those three goats. Inspired by Norwegian folklore, 'Troll' is a heartwarming mash-up of music, storytelling, audience interaction, physical theatre and clown.
