The Village Idiots are an inspired company of mask actors and theatre makers, who met and trained in a small village in Hertfordshire. They create highly visual, heart-warming theatre exploiting the frailty of the human condition - in all its heart-ache, sorrow and bumbling British embarrassment. The Idiots plumb the depths of human folly to exploit these lapses of dignity to their full comic potential.

They tell entirely non-verbal tales with a very modern edge. Inspired by Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati and CSI Miami, (note our forensic attention to detail!) the idiots have a natural instinct for comic timing and picking up on the zeitgeist. They possess an innate ability to communicate heart-rending stories with great pathos and sublime comedy.
