Welcome to Cropshire: a world of welly-wearing farmers, weather reports, and perpetually confused politicians. A nationwide ban on vegetables causes chaos in the community. Luckily, one charismatic Cropshire citizen knows exactly where to point the finger... A metatheatrical fable about the rise of right-wing populism. Through slapstick fights, dream ballets and increasingly absurd political speeches, an international ensemble of six clowns and a foley artist tell a haunting tale of a town fragmented by violent political oppression. Winner: Shedload-of-Future Fund 2026. Created by Diagnostic Trouble Code.
