The Puppet Poker Pit is a seedy poker den dominated by the huge characters of two eastern European puppets Boris and Sergey; a foul mouthed Laurel and Hardy double act that will charm and delight. Dripping pipes, bare bulbs, and a sinister presence that lurks just out of sight. try your hand… how good is your poker face? Flabbergast was set up to make uncompromising and exciting physical theatre drawing on the Bunraku style of puppetry and a belief that all theatre should be engaging and sweaty. It believes that its actors are its single greatest resource and as such endeavours to create theatre through an extensive and collaborative research and development process. The company was founded by the actor Henry Maynard in response to a desire to utilise his hand crafted puppets and puppetry training with Blind Summit. more Theatre Souk Profiles
