The Grand Theatre of Lemmings

Dave and Mandy, the founders of The Grand Theatre of Lemmings, are specialists in Outdoor Theatre and Rural Arts Touring. Their creative ingenuity combined with dynamic performance skills and exceptional comic ability has given them a unique style that appeals to audiences world-wide. Recently they have ventured into multi-media work with a new indoor show commissioned by the Northern Rural Touring Consortium.

"The Lemmings are madly funny. I was stunned, shocked, deeply fascinated and with a pain in the stomach muscles from laughter. An outrageously good show."

Ekstrabladet, Copenhagen.

For over twenty five years they have pioneered street theatre in the United Kingdom and in twenty five countries across five continents. They have thrilled audiences in places as diverse as Vietnamese refugee camps or the Grand Hotel in Montreux, Switzerland.

"This is a delightful comedy, a show that will, literally lift the shirt off your back... There follow some wildly daring stunts and this leads to one of the funniest moments I've seen so far. Its hilarious."

The List, Edinburgh Festival Review.

The Lemmings work consists of Outdoor shows, stilt based itinerant acts, workshops and rural arts touring. In recent years they have become agents programming schools for Creative Partnerships and produce their annual Schools Carnival with over 1,400 participants in Harwich. They also produce the Manningtree Beach Bash in their hometown which this year will boast an international line-up of artists

"It was great to see the Grand theatre of Lemmings really experimenting with this new show for small scale and rural touring and pulling it off with aplomb! Still inventive, still anarchic, still fun after all these years together - what an achievement!"
