From the depths of the Canadian wilderness comes a show to touch even the hardest heart. The title says it all: prepare to weep… or just laugh your head off.

This is a rapid-fire parade of hilariously tragic puppet deaths. One by one, beloved puppet classics reach their melodramatic, untimely ends — no dull build-ups, just the climactic moments of betrayal, despair, and spectacular demise.

Steeped in the gothic spirit of Edward Gorey and Penny Dreadfuls, the Old Trouts blend high art with low comedy in this cult hit that has toured across Europe, the US, and Canada — leaving behind nothing but laughter… and tiny, broken bodies.
