Monks is a sacredly-stupid interactive clown epic by Annie Luján and Veronica Hortigüela, performing at Lime Studio. Two medieval brothers are left home alone when the Abbott heads out, so they fling open the monastery doors and invite a wagonload of strangers in for a full day of doing nothing — what could possibly go wrong? The show is an audience-participatory comedy blending physical clown work with interactive chaos, where the lentils are many, the donkey is happy and the audience becomes part of the fun. A comedy and theatre show for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A joyfully unhinged hour in the company of two medieval monks and a roomful of willing strangers. The interactive clown format means no two shows are quite alike — come ready to be swept into the chaos.
