MYC Show – Gogol’s Underdogs
Mercury Young Company present
Gogol’s Underdogs will catapult audiences into the fantastical world of St Petersburg as seen through the eyes of Ukrainian novelist Nikolai Gogol.
A man chronicles his descent into madness. A poor filing clerk’s life is turned upside-down by the overcoat he sacrificed so much to obtain. A Very Important Person wakes up one day to discover his nose is missing, only to find out his nose is now a government official – and the nose outranks him!
A visual feast featuring physical theatre, music and puppetry. These surreal and wonderful tales paint a critical, yet hilarious portrait of a city riddled with pomposity and self-importance, combining absurdist farce with biting satire.
