Trick of the Light Theatre
Created by Ralph McCubbin Howell & Hannah Smith
Love to travel but hate the trip through customs? The cathartic dark humour behind this new show from absolute geniuses Trick of the Light Theatre (The Bookbinder) springs from the luggage contents of an unnamed traveller, whose suitcases raise the suspicions of an airport customs officer. If you don’t know the brilliance of Ralph McCubbin Howell and Hannah Smith, Suitcase Show is the perfect introduction: a masterclass in miniature stagecraft, old school tech wizardry and unbelievably good storytelling. Puppetry, shadow play, animation, intrigue, comedy — it’s all there in tiny yet immense spoonfuls of theatrical joy.
