About

Inspired by the timeless genius of Mr Bean, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, A Brief Case of Crazy is a heart-warming and hilarious physical comedy told through slick choreography, mime, clowning and puppetry.

A Brief Case of Crazy is a silent love story with a very loud heart.

One of their key aims with this production is to make theatre as accessible as possible. Using visual and non-verbal storytelling, the show seeks to reduce language barriers and widen audience access, allowing people from a variety of backgrounds to engage with and enjoy the performance.

Meet Thomas, an awkward, introverted office worker with a quiet crush on his equally shy colleague, Daisy. His quest for love must contend with a boisterous boss named Simon and a rather bothersome briefcase that drags an awkward introvert into extraordinary events.

Will his quest for love fail? Or will he discover, it’s what’s on the inside that counts?

The Theatre Reviewer

“Completely electric…like witnessing an evolution of silent film humour into the 21st century, full of sharp timing, goofy charm and unexpected depth”
