Phileas P Souper - Loon and Theatre Mimi
an incredible journey told through a combination of slapstick, mime and music. As the play opens we realise that Phileas has recently passed on and his friends decide it is only appropriate to mourn their friend with a celebration of his greatest adventures- and the audience is a welcome participant in this breathless ride. The stage is transformed into an emporium of exotic instruments; marimbas, banjos and washboards to name but a few, and the interplay between the musicians and actors is a treat to behold, the simple structure of mimed sketches accompanied by dynamic multi-instrumentalists creates the atmosphere of the various locations brilliantly- with the need for only minimal dialogue. Phileas P. Souper is a must see performance full of wit, energy and technical skill. "Edinburgh Fringe street theatre meets a traveling circus band; Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin meet Spike Jones’ City Slickers. If you enjoy great comedy and equally great music then this show’s for you!"Date: 13/11/10
