“The Butler is more than just a Cirque du Soliel for adults... It weaves the conventions of vaudeville, slapstick and burlesque with more than a little dash of circus. Five stars.” -Nyree Sherlock, Bay of Plenty Times.
The Butler is like nothing you have ever seen. Combining a circus spectacular with intimate comic theatre, it's visually jaw-dropping and fiercely satirical.
Written by Joe Bennett and directed by Mike Friend, The Loons Circus Theatre Company is inspired by the Peter Greenaway film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
Their performance is sexy, visually stunning and a bitter satire. The central character of the butler presides over a bizarre dinner party with actors and acrobats.
The show comes from the Christchurch and Nelson Arts Festivals and goes on to Auckland and then to a season in London.
The show does contain nudity and explicit language.
