Show Description
Two public television puppeteers are under increasing scrutiny after the children’s show they perform on is hit by a sex scandal. Suddenly these two highly dysfunctional human beings must fight for their jobs and their sanity.
This play is half adult tragicomedy and half children’s television show parody. With razor sharp dialogue, extensive video content, and excellent puppetry, Does Not Play Well With Others provides a frank discussion about mental health amongst creative people while remaining entirely entertaining.
Does Not Play Well With Others is a collaboration between renowned solo artists Adam Francis Proulx (The Pucking Fuppet Co.) and Kira Hall (Moon Dinosaur Productions) and is directed by Andrew Young.
