Macau, 1622: the greatest man in the Imperio Portugues is dead, and there is a sudden rush to fill his leaden shoes. From the never-ending fracas of princes and reformed pirates, one streetwise urchin will rise to the top where the only rule is that of the sword! Three actors, 25 characters, one hour. From award-winning sketch comedians Laurence Rosier Staines, Michael Richardson and Ciaran Magee, Adventures in Hair follows the confusing plight of Portuguese swashbuckler Chico de Andrande, insane grand vizier Eugenio and man of science Cezar through paranoia, augury and Dutch invasions in their quest for a new viceroy. Described as a cross between Blackadder and a Pynchonian drug trip, Adventures in Hair is an hour of meticulously-researched historical comedy and rapidly changing hats. This comedy festival there will be no show like it.
