:humpty: A Twisted Nursery Rhyme Pantomime
General Humpty got cracked on the head during the War, and now he is behaving very badly. Loosely based on the nursery rhyme characters Humpty Dumpty, The Spoon, The Dish, The Cow, The Dog, and The Moon, ethos offers up a dark tale with adult aesthetics (not appropriate for children). Funny and disgusting, charming and startling, :Humpty features an all-star cast presenting an extraordinary and unconventional performance. There is no “spoken” language in :Humpty, so this show is accessible to non-English speakers and deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.
The story delves beneath the surface of the nursery rhymes, uncovering a story of War, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, slavery, and the disparity of wealth and poverty. Betrayal, magical armies, and mortal combat ensue as the characters fight for their lives, loves, and freedom. :Humpty defies expectation with a mix of live action, music, video, movement, and humor.
Starring the original returning cast: Mick D’arcy as General Humpty, Betsy McCann Bromley as Madame Kow, Gabriel Maldonado as King Koray, Justin LaVergne as Dogsbody, Melissa Vogt as Mistress Spoon, and introducing Jeremy Rashad Brown as Sir Wedgewood.
When: September 13-28, 2019
