Robot Penguin

“A little less Attenborough, more cybernetic furry Louis Theroux”

Winner of the Baloney Award 2023

Emperor Spy Cam A10N3 has returned from his Antarctic investigation for the BBC. In his performance review he’ll be covering his infiltration of a penguin colony, struggles to adapt to their complex and contradictory society, and his code-breaking feelings towards one of the subjects.

A bizarre, irreverent comedy about depersonalisation and the neurodivergent experience through the ‘lens’ of an undercover robotic penguin.

The Room Upstairs

One ‘invisible illness’, lots of puppets, a self-deprecating actor, far too many biscuits and a sprinkle of absurdity all can be found in the room upstairs. But can you handle the journey up?

This atmospheric show raises awareness of ME, an ‘invisible illness’, through the lens of a mother/daughter relationship. Based on true events, this play with original compositions explores how this condition gradually penetrates every element of someone’s life and proves how sometimes laughter is not only the best medicine, but often the only one that’s available.

Breakfast with Jonny Wilkinson

Wanstead Theatre are back with a sparky and engaging comedy set on that glorious morning 20 years ago when England won the Rugby World Cup for the first and only time.

Dave’s position as chairman of his local rugby club is being challenged by an extremely loud Australian. Why does Jake, the club’s best player, keep disappearing? Why has Nigel’s wife stopped him wearing a nun’s outfit? Why is Nina the one they really need to please? And why have only seven people turned up to watch the game of the century?

Set in the fictional Greyhawks Rugby Club and performed in the very real Eton Manor RFC on non-match days of the actual Rugby World Cup 2023.
