Silence with noise, stand-up with no talking, drama with no acting. This uniquely exciting one-man show from New Zealand is attracting attention the world over, racking up awards in Australia, New Zealand and the UK at the Edinburgh Fringe. Drawing on a heritage that includes silent film, magic, puppetry and Motown, The Boy is a curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend or plaything. Shoes sing, empty dresses dance and electrical tape blossoms into roses. Creating a world of possibilities where the only certainty is laughter. “Utterly spectacular! Hysterically funny – fight for a ticket!” (Time Out) *****
