THE RONIN
Because 'One
Man Improv' just doesn't sound arty enough.
The Ronin
brings a new kind of adventure to the stage - one man improvisation! Lliam Amor
weaves the real and the surreal for breath-taking entertainment! Hot vaudeville
meets blood tingling, tempestuous theatre. A spontaneous, full-length World
Premiere that explodes with sizzling thrills you've never seen before - or will
again! Hyperbole!!
It could be
simply described as a 'one man sketch show' but The Ronin is so much more. A
bespoke performance that utilises audience suggestions, found props and an
esoteric soundtrack to create a unique improvised experience. Creating all the
stories and characters onstage, Lliam Amor (Underbelly,
The Increasingly Handsome Adventures of Earl Bircher, Late Night Impro, Thank
God You're Here) morphs between scenarios, criss-crossing the narrative
with the oblique - the Ronin is never repeated the same way twice.
After twenty
years of ensemble work this veteran improviser explores the missing link between
improv, sketch and stand up in his new solo show inspired by Chicago's popular,
long running format 'The Sybil',
created by Andy Eninger (The Second City).
Amor boldly steps into the light to explore his comedy sub-conscious with
spontaneity gone rogue.
In 2013 he
directed the Wizard Sandwiches in their award winning Fringe show The Last
Lunch and more recently appeared in Late
Night Impro, the Out of Print Book Club
and The Big Hoo Haa Danger Hour at
the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy
Festival.
The show is
being directed by fellow comedy veteran, Jason Geary who shot to national
attention with his iselect advertisements.
