The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet

John Hegley, one of Britain’s finest comic poets and performers, makes his inaugural visit to Harrogate Theatre with a new volume of whimsical vignettes.

The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet is a collection of seventeen adventures and one short drama, each presented in French and English, about a Frenchman and his laconic dog, Chirac. Boasting some unusual (but clean) habits, which include burying his dogs’ kennel and his own luggage pieces, the stories appear alongside other new works, including an address to aliens on the subject of transport, a poem about a non-talking parrot and some animal impersonations with the aid of a handkerchief.

You are invited to sing along. But not to dance.
