Operation Greenfield
Based in the South East of England, Little Bulb Theatre are committed to developing devised and physical theatre performances which explore minute human details that, in a world so big, are easily swallowed up. Combining innovative character work, beautiful imagery and exciting homemade music, Little Bulb Theatre aspire to create theatre that with humour and sadness will touch, startle and entertain.
‘Operation Greenfield’ is a bizarre and visually fantastical exploration of music, faith and friendship. Set somewhere in middle England, four unlikely teenagers are preparing for judgement day with ladders, Elvis and Forest Fruits squash – Stokely’s Annual Talent Competition is nigh. With a stage full of instruments and an eclectic mix of recorded music, the show captures the confusing, awkward and beautifully naive time of adolescence. The time when the once simple beliefs you held dear now need re-adjusting to face the complexities of adulthood.

“This small, powerful show has enough wit, exuberance and originality to light up any London theatre.” **** Time Out
