Split Hairs is a Brighton-based collective creating new theatre and physical comedy (www.instagram.com/splithairstheatre/).

They are developing the production of a children’s show called 'The Sewage', which they have been performing over the last couple of years, including at the Brighton Fringe where it sold out and received a 5-star review from Voice Mag (see www.voicemag.uk/review/12580/review-the-sewage) and FringeReview described it as a 'Must See' show (see http://fringereview.co.uk/review/brighton-fringe/2023/the-sewage/).

Here is a trailer for the show, which is about sibling rivalry and is performed in a Bouffon clown style, involving no spoken language and also incorporating elements of Visual Vernacular - a form of sign language that incorporates visual elements and gestures to convey meaning: https://youtu.be/vak1HKlrjss?si=9bjS-g4Ai-j-oohd (All children must be accompanied by an adult.)
