Tizzy Squalor, corporate plumber, lays the pipes.

Pamphilius Smudge wants love.

Typotheus Hawke wants revolution.

Reviews

“Political theatre dredged from the crisis of late capitalism” THE AGE

“An unapologetically raucous night spent skewering the status quo” AUDREY JOURNAL

“The Bloomshed have established themselves firmly as experts in reanimating older texts, bastardising classic texts to create cutting, political contemporary theatre.” THEATRE PEOPLE

“Energetic, hilarious and uncomfortable” KEITH GOW REVIEWS
