Me: This theatre group is based out of the school Ecole Philippe Gaulier, where their idea of "theatre is as serious as a child's game." http://www.ecolephilippegaulier.com/archives/. This is unconventional to me because the idea of this group is ... (at a loss for words!) To say the least the idea of this group really excites me. People from all over the world join together at a school in France and for nine months go through a series of 1)workshops 2)schooling in theatre. And at the end of their journey, they form a theatre company. This particular company is called "Potato," and with their latest (and I believe only) production is called, you guessed it, "Potato- A Show that will Save the World." I did no know that companies like this existed, and the school that they came from has been established for 25 years.

Cast of Potato
"Potato - A show That Will Save The World! A cheeky, comic spectacle that catapults the audience through sixty minutes of fast and furious fun: Satan discusses the future of architecture, a Californian beach bum discusses his political ideology and Hitler does the housework. Meanwhile the royal family bicker over fresh marital problems and Al- Qaeda reveal their latest advertising campaign."http://www.potatotheatre.com/show.html
