The Grand Theatre of Lemmings
| "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. |
The Grand Theatre of Lemmings is a rare phenomenon, a popular theatre company whose productions have
been successful enough for them to exist without funding for nearly 25 years. They have pioneered street
arts and rural touring, carving out an international reputation with out-door performances in twenty-five
countries on five continents.
The founder members are Dave Danzig and Mandy Medlicott and in recent years the range of their work
has expanded to include Carnival and educational work for Creative Partnerships. They are also
developing an outdoor festival in their home town of Manningtree, known as the Big Beach Bash.
The Lemmings are currently working on a new indoor show commissioned by Culture 10 in Newcastle.
The show is an international collaboration with a Canadian born composer who is resident in Paris
and will take the Lemmings into new areas of work. The production is provisionally called "survival of
the fitttes" and is based on Darwins origin of the species. It will showcase in Darlington in early April.
