Double Take brings a wordless mime show combining hand puppetry, physical comedy and a simple blackboard to Bristo Square in Edinburgh on 5 August 2026. The performance weaves together eight short stories through mime and visual storytelling.
In a wordless mime show combining hand puppetry, physical comedy, and a simple blackboard, Double Take weaves together eight short stories that invite audiences to look closer, think again, and delight in the unexpected. From the daily plight of a hungry snail to the Big Bang itself, each story is a miniature universe, revealing the humour, drama, and intimacy of everyday life while drawing audiences into a deeply creative, emotionally surprising experience. Set to an atmospheric soundtrack by Jack McGuire (WetHands), this two-hander relies entirely on physical theatre and mime, making the audience’s imagination its most powerful tool. Told in Broken Box Mime Theater’s distinctive style, these slices of life celebrate the capacity of the body and the power of simple storytelling.
