Love Through Double Glazing

Love Through Double Glazing

Something special about this production...

Love Through Double Glazing was created for care homes and other settings in response to the coronavirus pandemic, offering residents connection and entertainment during periods of quarantine. The show, staged entirely outside (with windows closed),  is viewed from the inside where it’s warm, cosy and, most importantly, safe.

About the show

Florence has a little white dog, a trolley full of tricks and a no-nonsense attitude. When visitors come to her care home, she's the first on the scene and the most in the know. So when (over-enthusiastic) Geoff the armchair fitness instructor, (over-pompous) Maurice the chef de cuisine  and (overly clean) Keith the window cleaner arrive ready for work, Florence is waiting in the wings to disrupt their day.

Funny, cheeky and unashamedly silly, Love Through Double Glazing brings you clowning, music, food fights, bubbles and ballet, even a real life dog, creating the ultimate armchair enjoyment  – all from the safety of your window seat.

Love Through Double Glazing is written and performed by Cirque du Soleil clown performer Sean Kempton, Artistic Director of Vamos Theatre Rachael Savage, and Norah, the fluffy white dog, a veteran of stage and screen.

Love Through Double Glazing is a co-commission with London International Mime Festival and supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Worcestershire touring in 2021 is supported by The Prime Foundation, and the 2020 development and pilot received additional support from Creative Scotland, Sir Barry Jackson Trust, Richard Cadbury Charitable Trust, Glencora Fund and through Divisional Funds from Worcestershire and Warwickshire County Councils..
