Shutterland at Exeter's Bike Shed Theatre

Event Date: 
07/11/2012 - 7:30pm to 10/11/2012 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
The Bike Shed Theatre, Fore Street, Exeter

Shutterland is a landscape of recorded voices and lost stories. When a secret is discovered it reveals a hidden past. Through a strange and unexpected turn of events one man finds himself running from the system he spent his life serving. Surveillance agents prowl the streets. Every move is monitored. Every sound is recorded. This is Shutterland, where futures are decided and pasts are forgotten. With a blend of absurdist humour and innovative physical theatre, Lecoq-trained Rhum and Clay present their Edinburgh smash hit.

7.30pm daily, tcikets from £5

You do?! Then this foul feast of flesh-creeping fear may be just your cup of (poisoned) tea.

Oh, I do hope you can come... I am just DYING to meet you!

Your host in horror,
