SPITTING IMAGE
Idiots Assemble – Spitting Image Saves The World: Live on Stage
Presented By Avalon and Birmingham Rep
Written By Al Murray, Matt Forde and Sean Foley
Directed By Sean Foley
With a plot more improbable than the last year of British politics! Join the iconic Spitting Image puppets in this world premiere as they grace the stage for the very first time.
World famous celebrities are thrown together as Tom Cruise is tasked by King Charles with saving Great Britain. Greta Thunberg duets with Stormzy as Putin and Xi watch on from their premium seats in the stalls.
Have they just come out for a night on the town? Or will they wipe out all of civilisation? A show simultaneously inspired and appalled by real events…
40 years after Spitting Image was first filmed here in Birmingham, the iconic puppets return to the city for this world premiere, directed by The Rep’s own Artistic Director double Olivier Award winner, Sean Foley. With a creative team that includes original Spitting Image co-creator, Roger Law, alongside a comedy tour de force writing team of Al Murray, Matt Forde and Sean Foley, Idiots Assemble – Spitting Image Saves the World: Live on Stage promises to be the unmissable, laugh-out-loud show to kick-start your 2023!
Trigger warning: contains jokes, some of which are really naughty.
