Dark Noon

About

A mind-blowing theatrical experience – a brutal reimagining of the history of America
Dark Noon by fix+foxy flips the script on the Wild West, envisioning US history as absurd, horrifying and deeply profound. A pioneer town springs up in real time as an extraordinary cast of South African actors rebuild the frontier through an outsider’s lens. With slapstick humour, satire and breath-taking stagecraft, the show comes fresh from five-star runs at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Factory International Manchester, St. Ann’s Warehouse New York and Sydney Festival.

Dark Noon transforms Brighton Dome Corn Exchange for a limited run, pulling audiences into a raw, immersive ride through history that confronts power, race and displacement.

Exhilarating and outrageously entertaining... The stagecraft is spectacular and the slapstick is delightfully silly - Time Out, New York
