A comedy thriller about a priceless Invisible Artwork and the chaos that follows its theft.

At the studios of Splash, Line & Scuro, Cutting Edge Conceptualists, things haven’t been looking too hot of late. Then out of the blue comes a million pound commission for the very first ever completely genuine Invisible Artwork.

With Forkbeard’s famed mix of visual trickery, film and outlandish story-lines, The Colour of Nonsense takes us on a journey through the shifting borderlands between sense and nonsense, burrowing into the puzzle of why we see the way we see. As mutinous cartoons throw the studios into animated confusion, only the Dong with a Luminous Nose seems able to shed light into the chiaroscuro of chaos.

With nods at Edward Lear and The Emperor’s New Clothes, Forkbeard’s new comedy explores the highs and lows of creativity and paralysing indecision.

Written and devised by Forkbeard Fantasy.
Directed by Andy Hay.

’There is sparkle and wit in every element of a Forkbeard Fantasy production’
**** The Guardian

’Mesmerising magic.’ The Independent

’Tremendous and insane.’ Evening Standard
