"Firm but Fair"

Perched high on their chairs our lifeguards attempt to impose the timeless values of the municipal baths on to the streets of your town.

The lifeguards affectionately improvise playful interactions with members of the public.

No petting goes unchallenged, no smoking permitted, no running tolerated and horseplay is right out

Yeah, but what really happens?

We set the ladders up either side of a busy walkway and interact with passers by from the ladders and on the ground. We use a sampler with comic sound effects.

We can also perform a mobile version on foot with no ladders for busy indoor venues. We have even performed on ice skates at winter wonderland events!

This is an original piece of street theatre that can animate a large area from any suitable vantage point. We classify it as a 'static walkabout'.

Ideal for public spaces, festivals and conferences where people are on the move.
