Description

You want to be loved.  People love lambs, so... become a lamb.

Most people know when they've made a wrong decision. But what happens when someone is convinced theirs is the right one?

"OPTIMISM" is a twisted tale of desire and self worth told through the eyes of an idiot.

Blending dark clown with multimedia and unusual physicality, this production is both brutal and dreamlike, presenting a constant stream of unlikely chracters, peculiar situations and striking visuals.

Uncanny Theatre are a new company co-founded by Total Theatre Award winner Matt Rogers (Chotto Ookii Theatre Company) to create bizarre yet touchingly human stories with a darkly comic edge.

In the face of constant rejection. "OPTIMISM" may not always be the best defence.
