Exeter’s TicTac Theatre present this compilation of three comedy plays, taking a look at love and life through the eyes of a seagull duo, a couple of seahorses and a pair of sheep.

“Each play humorously portrays man’s effect on the natural world and the creatures in it, in a lighthearted way.

Sheep Mount is a hilarious, yet poignant piece, in which a ewe and a ram escape their depressing lives on an enclosed farm in Devon, to roam free on Dartmoor.

“The defiant ewe, Zoe, is fed up of the farmer taking her young and hopes to rescue her relationship with her ram, Wayne, despite his roving eye. Meanwhile Wayne has been contending with many horrible scientific treatments from the farmer.

Seagull Heaven gives us a look into the life of two gulls that have been living out their days at a tip, where there are easy pickings for food because of mans wasteful habits. But due to city dangers and a wasteful life, they wish to get back to nature, so fly to the coast of Dawlish where they aim to cleanse their spirits.”

Seahorse Ride changes our perceptions, as we see conventional roles within a relationship switch. The male of the species carries the children and gives birth to them and he is not at all happy about it.

“Not just for the obvious reason, but also because of mans effects on the environment that are deteriorating any chance of his births being successful.”

June 14-16, 8pm, £9 / £7 concs.
