Oedipuss in Boots

Date: Thursday, Nov 22 2018 - Sunday, Jan 20 2019
Venue: The Wardrobe Theatre

A devilishly funny anti-Christmas comedy from the company that spawned such hits as Reservoir Mogs, Rocky Shock Horror, Muppits Die Hard, Kirk Vs Ming, Nachos and Goldilock, Stock & Three Smoking Bears.

Fast, smart and devilishly funny, Oedipuss In Boots puts the romp in anthropomorphism. An original dark comedy from The Wardrobe Theatre jam-packed with big laughs, puppetry, dance routines, musical numbers and unforgettable drama. Oedipuss In Boots is the ultimate Greek tragedy and the original mother-loving pantomime!

As lightning cracks at the summit of Mount Olympus, the royal kitten Oedipuss is cursed with the prophecy of killing his father and marrying his mother. Outcast, this brave puss must go on an incredible adventure of self-discovery, encountering crooks and charlatans, terrifying monsters and outrageous villains as Oedipuss tries to unlock the complex question of his destiny. But as he soon discovers, escaping your fate isn’t easy when you’ve got the King’s blood on your paws…
