Bertie needs to escape. Turning his back on the chaos of the world around him, he leaves his home for a derelict cottage in the woods. Here he waits with his wildly playful imagination…hoping love will arrive before the chaos catches up with him.
Inspired by the silent movie comedy giants like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, acclaimed gentleman juggler Tom Gaskin and celebrated international circus director Sean Kempton bring to life a funny and sometimes downright absurd story of fantasy, hope and love.
