The tragi-comedy hit Bill's 44th makes a triumphant return to the Edinburgh Fringe, performed by critically acclaimed puppeteering duo Andy Manjuck and Dorothy James. 'Buoyant, mesmerizing, joy-inducing' (New York Times). This 'tender and boozy puppet party' - **** (Guardian) - is a wordless spectacle featuring puppets, raucous balloons, and a cheeky piece of crudité that collide to examine the pitfalls of impatience, the wonder of loneliness, and the universal passage of time. A 'surreal tragicomedy, enormously funny and at times delightfully unsettling' **** (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). 'Sweetly hilarious with flashes of bizarre originality' **** (TheReviewsHub.com).
