Tale of Two Harpies

Bloom & Wilks present Tale of Two Harpies

Tale of Two Harpies is a wicked yarn, a dark fantastical comedy about two displaced characters who are on the run from an evil doing they have done. Eerie and freakish with lashings of hilarity, it’s like someone poured black paint over a Dr Seuss book.

A new physical theatre comedy show by Bloom & Wilks, directed by Susie Dee.

“Nicci and Emilie are at the top of their game! The darkest of clowning is their oeuvre, of which they are the finest exponents. Their attention to the smallest of details renders even a walk on stage as breathtakingly funny. The parade of sight gags and circus tropes is underpinned by a foundation of intelligent examination of the human condition.”

Annie Davey, Artistic Director, The Flying Fruit Fly Circus
