Insane Animals

I am Bourgeois & Maurice's producer, and worked with them during the creation of Insane Animals - a HOME produced, main stage musical, written by George Heyworth and Liv Morris (Bourgeois & Maurice).

Insane Animals is an epic joyride from the dawn of civilisation to the sequinned near future. With the planet in chaos and humanity hurtling towards extinction, two hyper-glam aliens arrive on earth with a simple mission: to help the human species survive. But first they just have to figure out what makes humans human…how hard can it be?

This mind-bending, time-travelling musical comedy from “modern day music hall stars” (Guardian) Bourgeois & Maurice is packed with songs that are satirical, sharp, side-splitting and salty, with a hero’s journey that is out of this world.

Cult cabaret duo Bourgeois & Maurice have racked up legions of fans around the world with their savage musical wit. This glittering production, directed by Phillip McMahon (of pop culture renegades THISISPOPBABY) sees Bourgeois & Maurice joined by a phenomenal cast of actor-musicians for a queer unravelling of past and present, fact and fiction, life and death. Held together with hairspray.
