All In The Timing

All In The Timing


Welcome to the universe of ‘All In The Timing’, a place where anything is possible and the lunatics (or in this case monkeys!) really do run the asylum. As part of the show, we have:

Words, Words, Words recalls the adage that three monkeys typing forever will eventually produce Hamlet, and asks: what would monkeys talk about at their typewriters?

Variations On The Death Of Trotsky shows us the great revolutionary on the day of his death, desperately trying to come to terms with the mountain climber’s axe he has found in his head.

Sure Thing two people meet and find their way through a conversational minefield as a bell interrupts their faux pas, gaffes and false starts on the way to falling in love.

Seven Menus charts the comings and goings of a set of friends while they navigate their complicated love lives and struggle with the ultimate question: why call a restaurant seven menus when there is only one?

Foreplay, Or The Art Of Fugue introduces to three instances in the life of Chuck, as he attempts with varying degrees of success to convince three very different ladies that miniature golf really is a metaphor for life.

English Made Simple treats language as a science experiment and party-goers as the ultimate guinea pigs, exploring subtext, fate and much, much more!

Monkeys, Trotsky and Miniature Golf? Something for everyone! Order your ticket today.
