Bristol’s Tobacco Tea Theatre Company give us this witty, dark, face-paced action comedy about throwing off expectations of who you should be in society.
“1736. Two highwaymen plan the heist of the century. Can they steal the taxidermy lobster, and save Britain from the clutches of a corrupt political establishment?
“Stand and Deliver is a fast-paced, character-driven, dark, witty, zany period action-comedy fusing theatricality and flair with Tarantino-inspired action. It follows incompetent highwayman Robert Steel and his would-be apprentice Eve as they attempt to steal a precious taxidermied lobster, which contains the key to a nefarious scheme of political corruption reaching to the upper echelons of the British government.
“It’s a show about casting off the roles which have been foisted upon us by our stations in life and learning to embrace our true selves. Our two down-and-out, disillusioned protagonists must wrestle with their resentment and hatred as they try to find the right way to defy those who have used and betrayed them.”
