Peenut and Ribbon, two obnoxious but loveable hooligans, search for the stolen Zanniskinhead grail - the Holy Balls. With neither a brain cell nor common language between them it's not looking good. Commedia dell'Arte gets flung mask first into the 21st century by new international theatre company Slingshot. Using the 'Zanniskinhead' masks created by commedia legend Antonio Fava, Christopher Hawes and Jean-Luc Grandin deliver a rip-roaring comedy packed with slapstick, stand-up, storytelling and stupidity, not forgetting an atomic bomb. Loud, rude, irreverent, violent and triumphant - a must see in 2011.
