Performed: September 2025 at the Nimbin School of Arts.

In 19th Century Paris, a confronting underground tradition developed in the Grand Guignol Theatre.

Chop Chop (or: La Guillotine) is firmly in this tradition, with the humour decapitatingly dark, and references to sex in the morgue, the crematorium, and the graveyard.

This short play, set entirely within a museum display of a guillotine, sends up authority generally, and government, religion and the military in particular.

Performed in a slightly abridged version for space and time reasons, this may be the play that got our troupe the most laughs per minute.

Featuring Andrew Anderson as the hapless Lecardon, and Amy Wesley as the twisted Palmyre Letocard, as much fun was had onstage as off!
