The Cameraman

Bash Street Theatre brings you their newest show. The Cameraman – He’s got you framed!

From ‘sometime in the future’, a jaded detective looks back on his early career as a young crime-fighter in the ‘Roaring 20s’ – the days of fake news, a world pandemic and global warming.

Set around a seedy French cafe, this is Bash Street using all their well loved physical theatre techniques, a voice-over narration and live musical accompaniment, including guitar, piano and accordion.

Expect silent comedy, topical intrigue and mistaken identities as the storyline follows the fortunes of an inept cameraman who inadvertently becomes involved in an international robbery. With influences as diverse as Tintin, Roger Rabbit, Humphrey Bogart and Buster Keaton, The Cameraman offers a comic view on the digital age with more than a touch of nostalgia for our analogue past.
