Frankenocchio

After 2 sold out runs in previous years...

Prepare to be regaled, titillated, and made slightly squeamish by the earthbound stumblings of the mute boy, Frankenocchio, as he seeks to rejoin his nimble head with the rest of his body, wending his way through the dark bellows and performances of a third rate traveling circus.

Conceived and Created by Brian Kooser, with script by Stephanie Timm, and touted as a "nightmarish world that might have been dreamt by Tim Burton after listening to Tom Waits while dosed up on codeine cough syrup", this bizarrely delightful story, set aglow with gaudily gorgeous bunraku puppets and scenery, will leave you strangely inspired.

Accompanied by the live, kaleidoscopic, musical barkings of God's Favorite Beefcake, Kooser and his cadre of deft puppeteers bring this sweet, nightmarish saga to life for Seattle audiences in August.
