The Trojan War

Written and produced by A Slightly Isolated Dog
Directed by Leo Gene Peters

The Trojan War brings together brilliant physical comedy, twisted pop songs and explosive wit to create a hilarious and irreverent experience.

Ten years after the creation of Don Juan, A Slightly Isolated Dog returns to Circa with The Trojan War!

Five flirtatious “French” performers meet you at the door. They bring you in, they show you to your seat, they flirt with you. Maybe they fall a little bit in love with you. Then they tell the story – with you.

Like a wild dress-up party, this show combines theatrical magic, twisted pop songs and explosive wit. The most charming performers you can hope to meet play a revolving repertoire of outrageous characters.

This frantic and hilarious mash-up in the style of Python meets The Boosh is created and performed by New Zealand theatre company A Slightly Isolated Dog. Leave your inhibitions at the door and play.

Reviews:

“…legendary storytelling riddled with witty anachronisms, audience interaction and entirely voluntary participation, immediate love stories juxtaposed with the mythologised ones, wacky props and costumes, mind-bending metaphysics, fabulous physicality, sublime singing and superb sound effects.”

“Overall the deceptively casual yet energetic, apparently random yet astutely purposeful and comical yet tragical performance of the whole ensemble creates a dynamic 70 minutes of superbly executed live theatre.”

“A Slightly Isolated Dog creates interactive theatre that mashes music, sketch comedy, improv, and physical theatre into something that can only really be described as stage magic. It’s difficult to put into words and even harder to capture the joy it brings…”

“I have always suspected that A Slightly Isolated Dog makes interactive theatre enjoyable for even the shyest of audience members by lavishing praise on them – you know you’re not onstage to be the butt of someone’s joke, but to be positively fawned over. How delightful and affirming.”
