"...sequence after sequence of inspired comedy... a torrent of creativity, and a profound playfulness... the kids are literally skipping with pleasure, as they run out of the theatre, yelling 'Dad! We've had a great time!'" Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman ****

Nothing to be done and nothing to do. Fritz, Franz and Rudy sit and wait. Expectation! Hope! Boredom! Delight!

From A Clean Sweep:

'Outstanding... clowning at its absolute very best. Tim Licata and Ian Cameron are brilliant... if you don't have a child, borrow somebody else's' EdinburghGuide.com

'Excellent - Clowning/physical theatre of very high quality' Scottish Arts Council

'...a subtle foray into the absurd world in which we live. A Clean Sweep is a reminder that there is innovative theatre to be had that defies classification. Remember the name, Plutôt la Vie's journey is just beginning' The Sunday Times
