In 2009, Polyglot Puppet Theatre will premiere a new schools toiuring show, The Block, set in a block of flats where we see different characters and intriguing stories in every window.
Like all neighbours, there are tensions and difficulties - especially when everybody is so different! When a flood threatens the block, the tenants have to work together as they try to escape. The Block is about ordinary people and their greatness, a multifaceted work of theatre featuring comical puppetry and dramatic actor performance. In an escalating scenario we learn that when people are in a sticky situation, sometimes all very best comes flooding forth.
Tour Dates: 12 to 30 October, 2009.Â
Tour Partners: Regional Arts Victoria, Arts2Go.
