Gulliver's Travels meets The Third Policeman in this (quite literally) half-arsed comedy. Naive young philosopher Candide is expelled from the Castle Thunder-ten-Tronckt and sets off around the globe in search of his sweetheart Cunegonde. On the way he meets the daughter of Pope Urban X (a lady with one less buttock than usual), monkey-loving Amazonians and a whirling dervish who may or may not hold the secret of life. The Performance Corporation's hugely energetic production is a brilliantly surreal satire on war, religion, greed and gardening.
