The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet

A brand new show from "Comedy's Poet Laureate" (The Independent). Mr Hegley has written some stories about a Frenchman who owns a dog called Chirac. He is still trying to think of a suitable name for his luggage. We follow the gentleman on his voyages to the park and the show. The only violent scene is that betwixt Robinet and his outmoded television. There is a love interest, although this is rather one-sided. Poems, short dances and singing come together in this hilarious new show ? no knowledge of foreign languages or food required.
