A pair of hapless newly weds are given a flat pack first home. Can they raise the roof or will they bring the house down?
This is a fun filled family show inspired by Buster Keaton movie One Week. A couple receive a flat pack home as a wedding gift, the instructions get muddled and they proceed to attempt to build it. The show’s highlights include puppetry, clowning, slap stick and a bit of dancing thrown in for good measure. Objects transform, things fall down and go up in surprising ways, scale shifts and fun is had by all. There is a storm, a house warming party and a wedding. This is a truly heart-warming and charming performance.
