Rudy and Cuthbert are preparing to open their theatrical version of 12 Angry Men when they discover an audience in their theatre on what was meant to be their single day of rehearsals. So what can they do but find a way to keep their audience entertained?
This absurdist clowning duo is the brainchild of recent NIDA grads Toby Blome and Zelman Cressey-Gladwin, who harken back to the good old days of comedy couples, like Laurel and Hardy or Lano and Woodley. They're directed by Ellen Cressey and having their Melbourne debut at the Lawler at Southbank Theatre.
