Peepolykus bring their exhilarating combination of verbal
slapstick, visual surprise and anarchic comedy to Gustave
Flaubert's seminal nineteenth-century masterpiece Madame Bovary.
Laugh and cry in equal measure as Emma Bovary chooses the wrong
husband. Lose yourself in mesmeric love scenes featuring a
procession of devastatingly attractive men. Rail at the fate of
women in a patriarchal society, if you will. Prepare yourself for
vermin, moustaches, wild animals, lots of French people and a nun.
Written for a bijou cast of four playing multiple roles, The
Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary was a co-production between
Peepolykus, Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, the Nuffield in
Southampton, Bristol Old Vic and the Royal & Derngate in
Northampton. It premiered at the Everyman in Liverpool in 2016
before touring to all those other places too. Like their
tremendously popular Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus's Bovary
offers abundant opportunities for comedy and slapstick - plus some
massive tragedy - to any theatre company or drama group looking for
a loving derailment of a classic novel.
