Twenty Million Thousand Leagues Under The Sea
A delightfully silly adventure that celebrates imagination, invention and the transformative power of a good story.
by Pummel Squad
Theatre
This is the story of a man named Rasthomas Bulge, a used car salesman with a sudden inkling he’s doing nothing with his life. On a day like any other, our unlikely hero finds himself catapulted into an impossible journey across time and space.
When Rasthomas crosses paths with his doppleganger who sees his potential, their conversation sends his mind wandering – and his body on a long walk to the horizon in search of something unexpected. He finds himself at a circus, where the ringmaster pulls him up onstage, stuffs him into a clowns cannon and shoots him into the air. Landing in the ocean, he sinks to the bottom, and into the lair of a mysterious baron. Things turn sour and he is jettisoned up into space, where he meets his doppleganger once more – realising that his lonely plight might not be so lonely. This story is all drawn live, with two performers jumping into play different characters and narrate the story.
