Description A couple of clowns have rushed to town to see the grand circus parade. They find the best spot, right next to the big red clock, the parade will arrive at three o'clock on the dot! They sit, they wait, they get bored, they get hungry … until their imaginations take over and waiting becomes a game. They dine on food that appears out of thin air, use simple items to create amazing new worlds and discover an entire universe inside a hat! An enchanting and hilarious physical comedy, Hurry Up and Wait is a unique blend of Buster Keaton and Samuel Beckett, reminding us how to play using the best material of all – our imagination.
