Oedipuss in Boots

Date: Tuesday, Jul 2 2019 - Sunday, Jul 14 2019
Venue: Tobacco Factory Theatres

Return of the devilishly funny anti-comedy from The Wardrobe Theatre, the company that spawned Reservoir MogsRocky Shock Horror and Goldilock, Stock & Three Smoking Bears.

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 he tries to unlock the complex question of his destiny.
