A starch raving mad adaptation of Faustus… with puppets!
Potatohead is a hilariously bizarre solo show and adaptation of Doctor Faustus and the Seven Deadly Sins.
An original piece of new writing by puppeteer and performer Freddie Hayes. Directed by Sh!t Theatre.
Saturated with potato puns from start to finish, Potatohead tells the story of a humble spud who dreams of becoming a cabaret superstar. But how does a couch potato grow to become a golden wonder? With elements of kitsch cabaret and old school entertainment, this original new writing blends puppetry, clowning and comedy for a highly entertaining and joyful performance. Potatohead is an unadulterated celebration of silliness.
The creation of Potatohead has been funded through Arts Council England, Slap York, Folkestone Puppet Festival and Creative Live Arts Yorkshire.
Potatohead includes some sexual content and references to religion and the devil. It is suitable as a 14+ age rating.
