The Stage
Thick & Tight return to London International Mime Festival for the fifth year in a row with a collection of best bits from their back catalogue.
Some of the all-time Thick & Tight favourites will be returning to the stage; Miss Havisham & Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill, Marlene Dietrich, Edith Sitwell, Rasputin and, of course, John Cage & Elaine Paige. They will be joined by new band member Dame Margot Fonteyn. Combining mime, dance, drag and lip syncing, Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry celebrate high and low art in all its variety, splendour and stupidity.
Thick & Tight are thrilled to be joined by a knock-out cast; Corali Dance Company, Vidya Patel, Edd Arnold, Oxana Panchenko and Danny Smith.
BSL Interpreted Performance + Post-Show Discussion - Thursday 26 January
This performance will be followed by a discussion with the cast and creative team. Both will be BSL interpreted by Jacqui Beckford.
Relaxed Performance - Thursday 26 January
This performance will be relaxed. This means that you are free to move around, make noise and come and go during the show.
‘Cultured magpies’
Exeunt
‘An unlikely concoction of surrealist parody, lip-synching, drag and some heavenly contemporary dance… beautifully performed and life-enhancing’
The Guardian
‘A great night of celebrity send-ups… Eleanor Perry and Daniel Hay-Gordon, aka Thick & Tight, are chameleonic comedians who also dance like a dream’
