“Brilliantly funny and full of insane invention” The GUARDIAN ****
At the studios of Splash, Line & Scuro, Cutting Edge Conceptualists, things haven’t been looking too hot of late. Splash is paralyzed by indecision and all the bright young turks are queueing up eager to knock him off his perch. Then, out of the blue, comes a salivatingly mysterious multi-million pound commission.
With Forkbeard’s famed mix of visual trickery, film and outlandish story-lines, The Colour of Nonsense is an exuberant satire on an art and theatre world always in search of the New…. a hilarious cartoon journey through the shifting borderlands between sense and nonsense. As mutinous drawings throw the studios into animated confusion, only Edward Lear’s “Dong with a Luminous Nose” seems able to shed any light into the chiaroscuro of chaos.
“A gloriously dotty comedy thriller inspired by Edward Lear and The Emperor’s New Clothes….80 generous minutes of madly inventive, thoughtful fun” The GUARDIAN ****
