Google Vagabond ProductionsAbout the show
Vagabond Productions returns to the Fringe with their version of Eugène Ionesco's The Chairs, performed at Just Up The Stairs. The show pictures an ancient couple, isolated and adrift, inviting a host of imaginary guests into their space. Described as a lockdown party, it is a blend of word-plays, slapstick and physical comedy — rhyming rhythms meeting sizzling dialogue. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, running for 60 minutes. Tickets from £8.
Why see this show?
Ionesco's surreal and moving classic gets a playful, physical treatment from Vagabond Productions — absurdist comedy that creeps up on you, part Waiting for Godot, part pure slapstick. A good-value hour of proper theatrical wit.
