Blue Elephant Theatre, Camberwell

A rip-roaring comedy! Hammer and Tongs Theatre tramples raucously through the far-flung fables of the Arabian Nights, thwarting the murderous intentions of a jilted king...

Kings, princesses, the odd genie, more talking animals than you can shake a stick at and a flying horse all find their way into this madcap physical comedy, played out by a rambunctious ensemble and accompanied by live music.

Prepare to be bombarded by imagination and battered with fantasy!

The cast took us through a magical roller-coaster of dancing, singing and physical theatre that blew my mind. I loved every minute!

The atmosphere is something of a magical cavern, very fitting for the mystical Arabian Nights
