The Hot Dots
directed by Kristine Landon-Smith
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)
