FLABBERGAST - To astound and amaze
Flabbergast was set up to make uncompromising and exciting physical theatre drawing on the Bunraku style of puppetry and a belief that all Theatre should be engaging and sweaty.
It asks the ultimate commitment mentally vocally and physically from its actors in order to achieve an intensity of performance which is all too often lacking in theatre of the day. It believes that its actors are its single greatest resource and as such endeavours to create theatre through an extensive and collaborative research and development process.
The company hopes to develop existing texts and new devised pieces bringing an innovative and unpretentious approach to its work.

The most colourful thing about these foot-tall leathery lunatics is the language they use if seeing puppetry's perviest Russian brothers performing a Kate Bush tribute with keenly observed choreography sounds like it would appeal, then Boris and Sergey have just the balm for your unhinged mind. Erotic Review
Flabbergast's Puppet Poker Pit is an amoral morality fable starring a violent, foul-mouthed puppet determined to renege on the ultimate poker debt. - British theatre guide
"Flabbergast Theatres potty-mouthed, Bunraku-style puppets
will make you laugh out loud as they bicker over their chips in Puppet Poker Pit..." What's on stage
Hilariously filthy but strangely full of pathos. Unadulterated genius." We Like This Too
