Last month I shot The Rubberbandits who you would probably know best for their hit Horse Outside (video starts automatically, lyrics NSFW!). Their show at the newly completed, very beautiful, and everso lofty Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, a second venue at Shakespeare's Globe, runs Friday and Saturday this week.
Our friend Wikipedia describes the 'Bandits rather primly as a 'comedy hip-hop duo from Limerick, Ireland', which is sort of how I imagine my grandmother might boil them down. Their work is filthy and funny, the costumes mildly terrifying, and underneath all the plastic bags they're lovely, polite, hard-working fellas who were a pleasure to shoot with. The programming team for the Playhouse have punted a fair way into left field with this one and it should be superfun to see the 'Bandits do their thing amid wood-panelled, candle-lit splendour.
Tickets available here. Below is a bonus shot of the jaw-dropping hand-painted ceiling of the Playhouse.
