Smoking Apples

Smoking Apples - ANIMATE 2012Smoking Apples seek to create inspiring and freeing theatre which can draw an audience in whilst still enabling them to reflect on themselves and their situation. The company explores everyday subjects which are too often overlooked and endeavour to bring the stories of characters you might find in the background to the centre of the audience’s attention. Specifically created with an adult audience in mind, Smoking Apples devise their work using a combination of puppetry, physical and visual theatre and music.
