PUSS ‘N BOOTS: A SOLAR PUNK PANTOMIME

Scottish tour, 2021.
Commissioned and produced by Hopscotch Theatre.

Join Justin and Puss as they set out on an eco-magic adventure full of mishaps and laughs to save the Kingdom’s wishing wells and defeat the dastardly ex-fairy “Oily Gark” who threatens to keep all the wishes for himself. Packed full of traditional stage craft and pantomime ingredients audiences expect, “Puss n’ Boots” features laugh-out-loud comedy, amazing hand painted scenery, solar-punk costumes and plenty of opportunities to boo, sing-along and cheer.

A solar-punk pantomime for four performers, the original production toured Scottish community venues and schools, as an in-person show and as a fully livestreamed digital performance. It reached over 19,000 children across Scotland, and was nominated for the Framework Theatre’s Emerging Artist Digital Award.
