Available for rural touring and occasional one off bookings

Frank Johnstone and Evie Steele met in 1928. This is the story of two hugely successful vaudeville performers and their spectacular fall from grace. Featuring So & So's trademark acrobatic balancing and a fantastic story set against the backdrop of 1930's Music Hall, this show is a real one-off treat.

So & So are currently booking for October 2010, with plans for a Spring 2011 tour in the pipeline.

So & So also offer workshops in acrobatic balancing, which can be booked alongside the show.

Backgammon for Beginners
directed by Mish Weaver

Touring from Spring/Summer & Autumn 2012
November 1976. A military jet arrives in London and a bemused looking Iranian man in flares steps on to the tarmac. He holds a single suitcase and blinks in this new land.
Unknown to airport officials, he has smuggled in the last of his opium supply, and brings with him a complicated past from a culture which doesn’t slot very neatly into this one.
Over the next few years his attempts to comprehend the differences between his past and his present will lead to jumping out of hotel windows, introducing backgammon to London bars, facing the terror of the National Front and stopping trains with his bare hands. It will also lead to broken hearts, secret loves and multiple children.
Fusing drama, breathtaking acrobatics, live music and puppetry, So & So Circus tell the true story of this extraordinary man and his life lived without a safety net.

Show length: 65 minute approximately. The companyalso offer a post-show talk 20-30 minutes.
Intended audience: Adult (minimum recommended age 12 yrs)
