The Tragedy of

Omlet

Prince of Hen-mark

By Stu McLoughlin (and William Shakespeare)

“O, that this too too solid shell would melt,

Thaw and resolve itself into a dew…”

The question of suitability to play the Moody Dane has preoccupied theatre makers for centuries. Scholars have long debated age, physique, gender and temperament - yet all have overlooked the perfect candidate:

an egg.

Enter Omlet, Prince of Hen-mark; Hamlet rehatched; fragile, brooding, on the brink of cracking under the pressure of his own Egg-sistential angst and joined by a full supporting cast of vegetables and assorted foodstuffs -  fresh from the fridge and prepared to present Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy as you’ve never seen it before; retold by one man, one egg and a trolley full of comestibles.

But this is no ordinary one man show. With live original music, perishable puppetry, and an overly confident reliance on bad puns, actor Stu Mcloughlin juggles an entire allotment of Shakespearean tragedy whilst trying not to turn his leading man into a leading flan.

Omlet, Prince of Hen-mark is a sumptuous scramble of skillful soliloquising, small-scale suspense and sunny-side-up Shakespearean silliness. A cracking night out, which proves once and for all that…

…something is rotten in the state of Hen-mark.

If you love animals, then you are going to love this show. A show dedicated to and celebrating all creatures great and small. The only show around that you get to see your favourite animals bursting out onto the stage right before your very eyes. The original animal show with NO LIVE ANIMALS.

The heart-warming show packed full of music, comedy and amazing animal effects is suited to all the family.

Book your family in and come and have a roarsome time.However, don’t just take our word for it, here is what some of the reviews from our last tour said:

Genuinely have never laughed and cried so much in one show. Brilliant entertainment, so much fun and incredibly informative.....underpinned by such a powerful, emotive and important message about our planet and animals.
