THEATRE WORKS PRESENTS
Noah Skape's Human Entertainment
BY NOAH SKAPE
6 - 10 OCTOBER | EXPLOSIVES FACTORY
BY NOAH SKAPE
Noah Skape's Human Entertainment is a punk rock operetta about an ADHD outsider struggling to comprehend his place in life and society.
Set somewhere in between reality and 90's free-to-air television, it's a cartoonish nightmare sequence about purpose and belonging, told with comedy-adjacent skits and arena-adjacent rock songs.
A one man show that takes the audience on a journey through not only Skape's imagination, but their own imagination as well. Using found-audio samples and original music to create scenes brought to life even further using mime, costume changes, dance, and song.
Think Tick, Tick Boom! meets the Mighty Boosh. Think Mr Bean meets Broadway musical theatre. Think Jim Carrey meets the Sex Pistols.
Created by award winning performer/songwriter Noah Skape, featuring baby giraffes, sky pianos, Kochie and much more, come and see the lengths we will go to entertain ourselves.
