Janet is a new solo show which uses object manipulation and unconventional puppetry.

The show is an emotional, high-­energy, poetically performed tragi-­comedy, celebrating the life of Janet, an ordinary woman (played by a lump of dough) who dreams for something else beyond the inevitable and conventional.

"Janet" is a show for anyone who has tried to defy destiny or go against the grain in everyday life; for those who love to play with their food and especially for those who enjoy a well baked loaf of bread!

A very human story told by objects with a dark comic edge – a mix of Monty Python and Emmerdale, plus a pinch of B-Movie Horror.
