Stolen Table Collective • Semi-professional company
About the show
Helicops 1: Find Your Wings! is a surreal comedy-noir detective drama by Stolen Table Collective at The Crate. From the trio who previously created Bot Brothers and Pasta Piñata, the show introduces Helicops — an elite underground force of anthropomorphic helicopters who handle cases too extreme for ordinary police officers. Veteran Helicop detective Rotary is one hour from retirement when his partner is mysteriously killed, forcing him to train up a new recruit, avenge the murder, and grapple with modern-day masculinity. A high-energy alternative comedy thriller with songs, for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Anarchic, surreal and genuinely inventive — Stolen Table Collective's comedy-noir follows anthropomorphic helicopters through a murder investigation and somehow makes it meaningful. If you liked Bot Brothers or Pasta Piñata, this is the next chapter.
