Frog Man

‘A cracking new slice of surrealist theatre.’

From a suburban nightmare to sub aquatic bliss – this is a story of love, bullying and the turgid waters of domestic life.

It begins one fateful afternoon down by the canal when Kenny and Kelly, two ordinary kids, steal Adrian Dunfor’s kite and their game goes horribly wrong…

What did happen to poor Adrian? Oh, how his poor mother cried and cried, even though she knew he was rubbish really…

Now Kenny is a police frogman and Kelly has dreadful asthma. They live at 46 Sunnybrook Meadow and drive a 4x4 in case anyone tries to murder them on the way to the supermarket. But that afternoon is with them still...

"Wonderfully sardonic pitch-black comedy. Witty one-liners abound throughout… Glorious and innovative - left me breathless.”
Edinburgh Festival Three Weeks Magazine
