Starring Manus Halligan and Raymond Keane
Drexel, an idealist inventor and his quietly brilliant servant, Pipe, are trying to invent something extraordinary - from absolutely nothing.
The Maker invites audiences into a world full of visual surprises, physical comedy, and strange magical experiments that teeter between brilliance and disaster.
From the team that created the world-touring hit show A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings and Barabbas co-founder Raymond Keane, comes this brilliantly playful new show inspired by Beckett, Borges, and Buster Keaton.
