A comic fable about a busy deliveryman.

07 Sep – 07 Sep

From the company who recently brought us The Fastest Boy in the World and Mr McGee and the Biting Flea comes an urban fairytale about a deliveryman. He is lured out of the busy-ness of his day to a world where work becomes child’s play and everyday objects are magically transformed.  

 

This wordless visual comedy features a foley artist who provides the music and sounds that orchestrate the story of a deliveryman who, in attempting to make a delivery, finds himself lured into a quirky, Tati-esque world where ordinary objects are imbued with mystery and magic. The journey beguilingly unfolds as the boxes and their contents make connections that draw him, clue by clue, back to the wonders of his childhood, beckoning him to reconstruct the lost joys of his own parenting.

 

In an enchanting finale, the Delivery Man is packed into a small box and delivered through the previously impenetrable warehouse door, back into a life of new possibilities and priorities. And so a Special Delivery is made.

Full of wonder, surprise and gentle humour Special Delivery is enchanting visual theatre.

Suitable for ages 4 - 8.

“Special Delivery is a peppy visual theatre work in the vein of France’s Compagnie Phillipe Genty. A plethora of sound and visual gags create a wacky world of play. A broom appears from a box too small to hold it – and a paper moustache becomes a cut-out string of paper dolls… The children love it.” - Guardian Messenger Newspaper
