LOVE AMONG THE PENGUINS
Written and Directed by ALEX STENHOUSE
A heart-warming feel-good comedy drama about the search for love, acceptance, and penguins.
Penguins, like you and me, can’t tell the difference between other male and female penguins. During the annual mating season, this quirk leads Kev [the penguin] to couple up with Miguel [the penguin], a fellow male. Kev soon realises the circumstance but decides it is better, and easier, if he keeps up the facade.
The play follows Kev and Miguel’s story, through the lens of a documentary filmmaking team who created the smash hit 'Love Among The Penguins'.
The show featured live score composed by Alex Rafael Rose.
