SUMMARY:Clare Murphy: The Liar King - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Set in Syria\, phenomenal storyteller and guest on The Blindboy Podcast\, Clare Murphy (The Spanking Goddess & Other Discarded Tales) weaves a witty satire on the nature of power and stupid kings. \nIn Damascus a king is desperate to keep his throne\, a citizen is determined to win a life and Syria is at the mercy of a lie-obsessed king. Girls face monsters\, beggars face kings and no one knows which liar will win. The Liar King is an adaptation of the novel Damascus Nights by exiled Syrian writer\, Rafik Schami. \nClare blends contemporary reporting and folklore with her playful wit to unmask who has the real power in the world.

SUMMARY:Lil Wenker: BOYKING - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Lil Wenker returns to Bristol with Cecily Nash for their brand new comedy show BOYKING. \nThe work-in-progress performance sees the award-winning pair explore humankind’s insatiable thirst for power through the eyes of a supposedly wronged prince. It has already been going down a storm with audiences and is now booking for this year’s Edinburgh Festival. \nBOYKING sees eight-year-old Prince Wilfred – Willy for short – seek power at all costs. This includes but not limited to: death\, destruction and dastardly deeds. Nowhere near in-line for the throne\, Prince Wilfred ruminates on a plan for total world domination while guzzling Mummy’s Milk. Bow down – this coronation’s a killer. \nIt’s performed through a blend of clowning\, bouffon and musical theatre.
