Tickets are now on sale for our new show at the Brighton Festival Fringe.

Update (14 March 2010): Read a preview of the show from FringeGuru.

Read the press release.

Spacedog are teaming up with Professor Elemental to bring you a delightfully unsettling evening, probing our very human fears of the almost human, from zombies to ventriloquists’ dummies. Accompanied by Sarah’s unusual musical robots, we’ll be singing songs of love, death and the uncanny as we explore the darkest reaches of your mind. With theremins, taxidermy and strange automata.
