    Peepolykus bring their exhilarating combination of verbal slapstick, visual surprise and anarchic comedy to Gustave Flaubert's seminal nineteenth-century masterpiece Madame Bovary.

Laugh and cry in equal measure as Emma Bovary chooses the wrong husband. Lose yourself in mesmeric love scenes featuring a procession of devastatingly attractive men. Rail at the fate of women in a patriarchal society, if you will. Prepare yourself for vermin, moustaches, wild animals, lots of French people and a nun.

Written for a bijou cast of four playing multiple roles, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovarywas a co-production between Peepolykus, Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, the Nuffield in Southampton, Bristol Old Vic and the Royal & Derngate in Northampton. It premiered at the Everyman in Liverpool in 2016 before touring to all those other places too.

Like their tremendously popular Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus's Bovary offers abundant opportunities for comedy and slapstick - plus some massive tragedy - to any theatre company or drama group looking for a loving derailment of a classic novel.

    The most enduring and popular theme of poems and poets is that of love.   
 
Can anyone think of a poet who has not in inky lines described their pursuit of love, their hopes for love, their loss of love, their unrequited love, their love of love ….. No. 
 
The language of poetry is mysterious but yearns to capture the essence and all aspects of its subject.  
 
In ‘Love’ it finds a difficult mistress.  Individual poems can capture individual moments but has any one poem found within its lexicon the formula for the attainment of love?  Again, the answer is ‘No’. 
 
Love changes, its rhythms pause and pulse on the tiniest of things and the biggest of thrills.  Within its shades all other feelings, all other emotions, gently reside, waiting for their moment. 
 
In these fifty poems the many, many shades of love reveal themselves…..
