Featuring seven different shows – some of them two per night – the legends of Theatresports™ and its hilarious spin-off shows come together for a week of made-up mayhem! From The Whole Story ‘long-form’ impro to the wacky WW2 ‘epic’ comedy of Churchill’s Unmentionables; Shakespearean-styled comedy in Bard to the Bone to the creative chaos of The Director’s Mind, Puppets versus People and the bizarre Lab-rinth which improvises the classic David Bowie movie. Plus the ultimate competitive challenge: the Theatresports Cup-Winners’ Cup – a playoff between the current holders of the Cranston Cup, The Scared Scriptless Cup, the Sydney University Theatresports Cup and the recent NSW High Schools’ Theatresports Championships.
