Previewing summer 2009
MEAN STREETS
Tour schedule
MEAN STREETS ...
A major piece of outdoor theatre previewing as work-in-progress summer 2009 with a full tour in 2010.

MEAN STREETS is a clowning, playful, visual celebration of Thrillers and Murder Mysteries.

"Down these mean streets a man must go who is himself not mean"

The show begins with the discovery of a body. Eddie Rich...nightclub singer.
Everyone is a suspect.No-one leaves until the crime is solved.
Who had the strongest motive?
Who last saw the victim alive?
Who has most to gain from his death?
A plot unfolds riddled with twists and turns pushed as far as they can go, with enough red herrings to confuse and stun the most die-hard Bogart fan.
