About ECC
Homunculus is a classic farce in modern verse from ECC, performed at the Big (End On) venue. Artist and self-styled sorceress Mimi has just been through yet another break-up, but this time it feels different. Her solution: sculpt an idol of her ex during a thunderstorm and combine it with the foulest love-hate potion alchemy can brew. Described as an impish, word-drunk play that delivers big laughs and sharp plot turns, this comedy farce runs for 55 minutes and is suitable for ages 16 and above. Contains strong language.
Why see this show?
Verse farce with genuine wit and a sorceress protagonist — this is exactly the kind of strange, inventive theatre the Fringe exists for. Sharp, playful, and confidently executed.
