Low Life 2005

by Blind Summit Theatre
2005

"A Life lived low, is a life lived closed to the ground, near the earth. It may not be a good life, and it may not be a nice way to live, but at least it is honest. And that's not something to be ashamed of..."

Welcome to the Low Life cabaret - a gin-soaked world of desperate puppetry. Inspired by the poems and short stories of Charles Bukowski. Your world will never be the same again.

"Their puppets certainly seem to be a bad lot: they drink, smoke and swear, fight and even kill"

Maddy Costa, The Guardian ★★★★

"outrageously silly, utterly engaging and at times surprisingly arresting"

British Theatre Guide

"The puppets are more human than humans"

Lyn Gardner, The Guardian ★★★★

"fabulous to see UK puppetry for grown-ups take the Fringe by storm"
