    Two trolls feeling misunderstood and misrepresented. Terrified of goats and turning to stone. Trolls have been historically villainized and exposed in popular culture, but what would we learn if we listened to their perspective? A comedy about being an outsider and the pursuit of beauty.

    Inspired by Scandinavian folklore, this feel-good show presents two clowns on roller skis in the forest. A mashup of classical music, parkour, fairy tales, audience interaction, delicious goat cheese and clowning.

    From the award-winning and “hysterically funny” (Scenekunst.no) creators of Naughty Cabaret.

    Directed by Cecily Nash.

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
