Juggling babies, toddlers on stilts, and teaching young Joey to ride his first unicycle are all part of everyday life for single dad, Joe Butler, in this poignant, family love story involving the ever-changing relationship of a father-and-son double act.
Using a unique blend of physical theatre, circus skills, original songs, and live music, The Battling Butlers is a study in role reversal and the inevitability of change, as the old order makes way for the new.
Based in Penzance in Cornwall, Bash Street Theatre has built an international reputation over the last 30 years, performing silent-comedy, street theatre shows throughout the UK, Europe, and beyond. The Battling Butlers is a real family affair, performed by father and son, Simon Pullum and Loki Pickering, with original live music from Julian Gaskell.
