"Firm but Fair"

Wih all the investment and effort put into the Olympics it would be a tragedy if some thoughtless people ruined it for everyone by running, jumping, or doing gymnastics...

Perched on their high chairs the lifeguards attempt to keep thte fun strictly under control, and anyone caught petting can expect to be severely admonished for sullying the Olympic dream

Only sensible lane swimming and synchronised strolling is permitted by our 'Speedo clad warriors'.

They also lead the public in a a strict strectching and lunging programme in their mission to keep the fun out of sport.

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.
