“When snatched from the jaws of death, tooth marks are to be expected”
A short test of stop motion film from 'Sink Or Swim'
| The 18th century bedlam houses are full and thus the ships of fools are born. Chained and en route to America our hapless victims find themselves running for the lifeboats when an unknown object strikes and sinks their ship, the Sea Venture. As the icy dawn breaks and with only a single oar they find themselves alone, and going around in circles.
Our heretic, horse thief and halfwit battle the elements, each other and a leaking lifeboat. Based in fact and with a heavy dose of fiction ‘Sink or swim’ is an insanely comic tale of tales and three men’s maddening struggle’s at sea. “Who knew when you come this close to death it would Save Or Souls”
Featuring an original music score, stop motion animation, inflatable sculpture, clown and bold storytelling, Sink or Swim' will be the company’s 20th original show. Spike has been touring comedy theatre across the UK and Europe since 1997. ' |
