Reel Life

Have you seen the Algernon and Bruno Show? It's a hit cinema spectacular, hitting on all eight! Mr Algernon has a deft foot and more charisma than your old man on snooker night, while Mr Bruno wows with raw stage presence and inquisitive posture! They tell entertaining stories every night, leaving audiences roaring in their seats. Though between you and me, I have heard tell that they don't drink out of the same bottle nowadays. Word is, Algernon dreams of his own spotlight, and Bruno's drug of choice is the applause. The show has not suffered in quality - for now. But to tell you the truth, I can't quite take my eyes off of it! It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Although, recently, watching the Algernon and Bruno Show, I've felt a little like I'm being watched myself...

Reel Life is a darkly comic physical theatre show, inspired by the silent film era, following the two feuding stars of The Algernon and Bruno Show. Always hungering for the fleeting attention of the audience, Algernon and Bruno are increasingly willing to cross any line to get what they crave. But unbeknownst to them, there is something else that craves the roar of applause even more.
