These interpreted shows will be on Sunday 4th October
Whose Shoes - Knapsack Productions
Whose Shoes is a show about a child's exciting journey of imagination. Rosie can't sleep after her exciting trip to the aquarium, so instead she explores an underwater world where sea-creatures wear shoes! Combining music, storytelling and puppetry, the show is interactive in a socially distanced world. Young audiences are encouraged to bring their own blanket and teddies to play with Rosie and immerse themselves in the deep-sea stories. Suitable for children aged 3+.
The End of the Pier Show - Jonny Fluffypunk
The debut performances of a brand spanking new family show from Jonny Fluffypunk. Theatre, puppetry, poetry and lo-fi music all battle it out to tell a story about a doomed seaside pier and a rapping handyman, a refugee mermaid, and a bedridden trapeze act who might just have to pull together to save it. A show about pulling together, about celebrating difference and opening your arms to the world. Warning: fans of throwing plastic in the sea will be made to feel awkward.
Apocalypse Kernow - OMF Theatre
Apocalypse Kernow is a comedy about a zombie apocalypse in Cornwall. That’s it. It is also a social commentary about rights and immigration.
Apocalypse Kernow is a series of linked sketches by Greg Winders, that trace the story of how the disease of brain addiction came to Cornwall, with rumours circulating it could be the pasties.
The story moves on to how all areas are affected, from whether super markets or Trago Mills will have to close down to the National Trust café subduing infected with cream tea. Then deciding whether to kill them based on whether they go cream or jam first. The Cornish are then ordered to find shelter but the only place offered is Plymouth, so few take this up. Those that do must pass a Devon citizenship test.
The story is a comment on modern society and the lengths people will go to not to offend, with a restauranteur committing murder to feed a zombie customer brains and a referendum on whether the murder of zombies should be acceptable.

And So, Now That You're Dead...- Foulisfair Theatre
Welcome through the doorway. We hope you had a good life. If not… (oops – It’s a little too late!) Never mind, maybe it’s still worth considering what death means to you, and to explore the possibility of becoming ‘death-positive’? The Appreciation of Mortality Society has put together a star-studded cast for this informative event: Grim will be there to welcome you, and Catrina La Calavera from Mexico - where they really know how to celebrate the dead! Also, the famous Greek Goddess Demeter will be dropping by, though we can’t promise she’ll be in a celebratory mood. And woven between these great immortal voices, you may just hear a quieter tale of personal loss – one that nevertheless unites us in our imperfect mortal state - having as much to do with love as facing the final goodbye.
