This Side Up


Following work with international mime artist, Ramesh Meyyappan during '2 Pairs of Shorts', we collaborated once again in 2005 on this hilarious one-man show.

Telling the tale of one mans battle between the urban sprawl of the city and his need to go back to his roots - unfortunately when he attempts to commune with nature he has neither the skills nor the knowledge creating chaotic results.

Directed by Mark Smith

Music by Paul Skinner

"A good example of mime as entertainment Above all, it is very funny, Ramesh's humorous expressions a constant delight"

- Liverpool Daily Post

“What made the show thoroughly enjoyable was Meyyappan’s spot-on timing and wide array of physical gestures which conveyed so much with so little”
