The production is housed within an air-conditioned custom-built 20ft shipping container that expands to create a 6m x 5m venue. The unit is a high-cube style container – with extra height than standard – that has been richly transformed. Welcomed by our eloquent and other-worldly host, audiences enter the space by any local social distancing measures.
Anchored in shared stories, the audience experience is akin to a visit with your favourite aunt – a surreal tea party that’s partly scripted and partly improvised. As a character, BOOFF resonates with the work of artists like Julian Clary and Dame Edna Everage, a larger-than-life persona in whose company all people are equal, and all are equally worthy of reverence or ribaldry.
