Our five-list is filled with zany, bizarre and kooky stories that’ll surely keep you smiling. Though you may not be rolling in the aisles busting a gut, we here at MoT feel certain that you’ll at least indulge in a giggle or two.
This week the selections for cheap theatre is plenty and bountiful – so much so that it was difficult to narrow it down to just five. Considering I’ve been on a cabaret, burlesque, and music kick lately in lieu of Halloween, this week’s pickings reflect that. Though do click over to our weekly listings and browse through to find something that’ll tickle your fancy if any of these don’t suit your palette (there’s also plenty of sketch and improv comedy to be had, too).
Just in time for All Hallow’s Eve, our pickings for cheap theatre this week is filled with frightful delights that’ll leave you screaming for more! (Hmn, over selling? I’ll scale it back.) From scary tales, ghoulish burlesque, super heroes & villains, and even puppets galore, there’s plenty of devilish theatre for everyone to enjoy. All on budget-friendly prices so you can save your pennies to build the perfect costume.
This post-turkey-weekend collection of cheap theatre brings about the spice of life and offers a little something for everyone. These performances feature various one-act plays, workshops, sketch comedy pieces, and dance selections that are perfect for those that would prefer a quick and compact story than a drawn out multi-act production. It’s the theatrical version of a tasting menu – just enough to whet your palette.
For this week’s selection of theatre on a budget, we’re zooming in on theatre influenced by popular media both classic and modern. From fiction novels to iPhone apps, television, video games and trivia – there’s something here for everyone “in the know” on media culture.
