An entertaining, unsettling, light-hearted and deeply provocative cabaret experience.
Fringe First Award winners 2006
'Quirkily clever, edifyingly fun and, in all, rather brilliant collage of cabaret from New York troupe The Civilians... great stuff.'
The Evening Standard ****
How do we know what we know when everyone in power seems to be lying?
Obie-winning New York Theatre Company, The Civilians, doesn't know the answers but then, who does? And would you trust them anyway? Taking you on a dark ride through the landscape of public culture, The Civilians probe, unearth and generally make fun of the politics of information. Who gives it, why they give it and why on earth we chose to believe it.
Combining ingenious songs with slick choreography, (I am) Nobody’s Lunch is a unique cabaret experience that is entertaining, unsettling, light-hearted yet deeply provocative.
‘An exceedingly rare show that leaves you thinking, laughing and humming all at once.'
