Mouth and Trousers Street Arts Theatre Company first formed in 1997 and have been performing at festivals and events throughout the UK and Europe. We use clowning and verbal improvisation to create visually compelling and wryly humourous street performances with an acidic twist of social commentary. The company has been specializing in interactive roving performances and by mid 2003 we will have developed static shows. We currently have three shows now in production.
