Description

New York Times Critics Pick ('Buoyant, mesmerizing, joy-inducing')! This poignant, puppet tragicomedy for grown-ups is a wordless spectacle featuring puppetry, raucous balloons, and a cheeky piece of crudité that collide to examine the pitfalls of impatience, the wonder of loneliness, and the universal passage of time. 'This isn’t the birthday that Bill had hoped to have. But for the audience, his 44th is a gift' (NY Times). A 'surreal tragicomedy expertly executed, enormously funny and at times delightfully unsettling' **** (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). 'Sweetly hilarious with flashes of bizarre originality' **** (TheReviewsHub.com). A 'tender and boozy puppet party' **** (Guardian).
