Troll
Troll - a two-troll clown show about friendship, scape(goat)ing and really, really long noses.
Fed up with centuries of misrepresentation, prejudice, vilification and exclusion from non-Troll society, two trolls find themselves in a theatre, on stage for the first time. They are ready and desperate to tell their side of the story, INCLUDING the truth about those three bloody goats. Inspired by Scandinavian folklore, Troll is a hysterical, heartwarming mash-up of music, storytelling, physical theatre and clown.
