Once Upon a Time in a Western

Le Navet Bête present Once Upon A Time In A Western

Four clowns take you on a fast-paced ride through the Wild West – a laugh-out-loud physical comedy for all the ages, told through the eyes of a fool. YEEHAW!

A tumbleweed silently rolls across the dusty stage…
The clink clink clink of spurs echoes throughout the theatre…
The saloon door opens with a long, drawn-out creak…
The piano player hits a bum note and comes to a stop…
A short, dark stranger lifts the rim of his hat and shoots a steely stare out to the audience…

Welcome…to Kidneystone…

An interactive, fast-paced journey across the Wild West. The town of Kidneystone is threatened by outlaw and all-round bad guy Loco Pedro, who is secretly in cahoots with the Mayor to rob the town’s train of all it’s gold. Following the death of Sheriff Ned the town needs a new lawman but, unfortunately, this role falls to Rudi, the saloon’s piano player – who is just not up for the job. What Kidneystone needs is a hero! But where will they find…a hero….hero…hero?

Le Navet Bête are an award winning internationally touring troupe of clowns based in Devon, whose high energy, spectacular and hilarious shows have wowed audiences globally. Their new show is by far their biggest yet, and they are delighted to welcome John Nicholson (Peepolykus) to come in and direct the show.

‘Hilarious and utterly engaging, if all theatre was like this we wouldn’t need TV’
