Written by Joe Bennett, performed by Loons Circus Theatre Company.
The central character of the butler presides over a dinner party. He stands apart from the action, having seen and heard it all before. It’s The Butler. Where circus meets theatre and satire holds the mirror up to the middle classes. Critics have called it Cirque du Soleil for grown-ups and Pinter on stilts. It is the must-see show of 2011.
The Butler takes a hard look at the social manners and conventions of western culture, with often bizarre results. It's sexy, it's visually stunning and it's a bitter satire, but also very, very funny.
“It is a cross between Cirque de Soleil and the Rocky Horror Picture” - Waikato Times
