‘Too many greeblies in the pool today. I just wanted some quiet y’know… and peace. Some good old quiet and peace. Not my lucky day though is it? Greeblies everywhere.’

Spawny John, an army veteran, sits in a small antechamber halfway down a Butlins water slide. His close (and inflatable) friend Duck sits comfortably about his waist. But they're not the only ones looking to do a spot of sliding. Throughout the day, the duo face a bizarre series of fellow sliders: a cockney frog, a Norwegian lilo, and a dragon/sherpa duo all make appearances, providing both welcome and unwelcome interruptions to John’s discussions about the hard reality of civilian life. Thildes is a surreal dark comedy addressing the finer points of death, loneliness, and soup.

Written by Canny Dooke and Daniel Spicer
Produced by Dirty Rascals

Dirty Rascals is a London-based theatre company founded in July 2015. We are devoting ourselves to making work that is living, untidy, and playful. Thlides will be our second project as a company; our first project was a show in January 2016 called Of Nymphs and Men.

Praise for Dirty Rascals:
★★★★★ 'One of the most bizarre pieces of theatre I’ve come across, it is also one of the most lovable. Thlides has a distinct sense of humour that is never in bad taste' – LondonTheatre1
'A high calibre of story-telling and vast potential' – A Younger Theatre
★★★★ 'A powerful piece … To see a form of daring and intriguing theatre not often accomplished onstage is certainly a refreshing experience' – Theatre Bubble
★★★★ 'Haunting and intense … The performers are exceptional' – RemoteGoat
