“An unlikely concoction of surrealist parody, lip-syncing, drag and some heavenly contemporary dance" The Guardian
After kicking up a storm this year at London International Mime Festival - Barbican, The Lowry - Manchester and Festival Theatre - Edinburgh , Thick & Tight have been persuaded to bring their strange, delicious brand of genius to Ramsgate. Short & Sweet is an amuse-bouche platter of new works designed to excite, provoke and satisfy.
Created by Eleanor Perry & Daniel Hay-Gordon, this thoroughly modern variety show mixes dance, drag, lip-syncing and satire. Short & Sweet brings a host of famous and infamous characters to life: Sid Vicious, Grace Jones and everyone’s favourite avant-garde duo, John Cage & Elaine Paige.
The Stage ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “a dazzling and witty variety show… the sweetest of pick-and-mixes, offering a selection of nine zesty, daring and commanding acts, both captivating and eccentric… a true masterclass in dance and satire.” Isaac Ouro-Gnao
The Times ★ ★ ★ ★ “There is nobody else quite like them… smart, continually surprising and a great, mischievous night out" Donald Hutera
The Guardian ★ ★ ★ ★ “the duo at their absolute sophisticated best… beautifully performed and life-enhancing. Short and very sweet indeed” Sarah Crompton
