Bruce – Weeping Productions

Overview

Two twisted minds, a block of yellow foam and a pair of disembodied hands comprise the Weeping Productions show that is Bruce. It helps that those minds belong to two of puppetry's cleverest recent additions — Tim Watts (creator of Alvin Sputnik and Pollyanna) and Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd. And that Bruce is no run-of-the-mill foam cube but one with an insatiable thirst for adventure and a knack for melting the crowd's heart.

Having sold out an entire season at Perth FringeWorld, the maverick trio is bringing its lo-fi, time-bending, action show of love and revenge to the Giant Dwarf for one night only. The West Australian review went, "its dizzling audacity is a marvel throughout ... glorious stuff", while Crikey described it as "playful, virtuosic, hilarious and touching".
