MOZ AND THE MEAL - FREE
Workshed Productions/Laughing Horse Free Festival
Comedy

A truly black comedy… with splashes of red”

Moz is a cannibal with exquisite taste; every gorgeous girl he meets, he eats, every lover is a potential lunch, every dish is a date and every date is a dish, if only they’d live long enough to learn to love him. Moz has given up all hope… until he meets Miss Right.

‘Moz and the Meal’ is a black comedy and an enigma. It is a one-man show yet has three actors (two of whom you’ll never see); the stage is barely one-metre square yet covers an entire city; there is no set, no props, yet you’ll be taken on a journey like no other. ‘Moz and the Meal’ is an audio visual treat for the ears, the mind and the soul.

Best of all the show is entirely FREE.

Written and performed by Michael J Buchanan-Dunne

Performed by Richard Harris & Amy Butterworth

Music by Cult With No Name

Contains some naughty language and rude bits, but no bottoms or willies.

Cool new review of Cult With No Name's lastest effort "Careful What You Wish For" appears on webzine Heathen Harvest.
