About
Mentone Girls' Secondary Theatre Studies present 'Man the Balloon' by Matt Cameron. The local balloon man declares the outbreak of an alarming trend: citizens are spontaneously bursting. With its diminishing population, this is a town inhabited by not-quite-together people who are constantly in analysis. Elliot, a hapless balloon enthusiast, struggles to uncover the cause of the random implosions and convince everyone they need help before they all disappear into thin air. Man the Balloon is a satirical and absurd parable of an insecure, small-minded society unwittingly bent on self-destruction. Please note: The play contains mature themes (explored in a satirical manner) and includes characters spontaneously bursting and blowing themselves up. Suitable for a mature audience 15 years and older. The performance includes simulated explosions, flashing lights and the use of a smoke machine.
