It was all too late when Hitler-2 killed the kittenfairy. Or was it when Steve brushed off the jellyfish? ‘Superbard’ takes the audience on a kaleidoscopic hour of storytelling as he meets the most wonderful girl in the bar, turns from a wrinkled white giant into an elephant, and is stalked by a traffic cone. Meet Daisy and Helen, his daughter, a German quantum scientist, and Steve’s trusted crusty wanking sock. Not all in this order – but that’s what quantum theory is about, right? The storyteller from the future entertains with wit, weirdness and eyebrow-raising songs to underlay his often strange and random tales. If you are prepared to follow the purple light, this is for you.
C soco, 3 – 29 Aug (not 15), 5.35pm (6.30pm), £9.50 – £6.50, fpp301.
