Men Of Steel

Winner Festival Director's Award - Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Voted One of the Top 7 Shows for Children by Time Out London

Three mad chefs animate two Cookie Cutters, food, and a host of familiar kitchen utensils in a chaotic puppet extravaganza of epic proportions! Men of Steel fuses cooking, physical theatre and intricate object puppetry in a hilarious examination of the consumptive society in which we live.

Featuring explosive popcorn, watermelon slashing and the felling of a broccoli forest, our cooks whip up three uproarious, mess-filled episodes back to back! Cartoon violence, physical comedy and mess (lots and lots of mess) ensues!

After smash-hit seasons in London, Beijing, Hong Kong and Edinburgh, the runaway hit of the Australian Festival circuit comes to GPAC.

"This glorious, preposterous exercise in object puppetry and Antipodean drollery is a blast." Time Out, London

"Anarchic, messy and highly inventive, this is a fabulous children's show. It's brilliantly silly and often hilarious." The Stage, UK

"This is puppetry at its most ingenious and disarming… Fabulously imaginative." The Age
