About this show
From the trio who brought you Bot Brothers ('Chaotic... anarchic energy' * (The-Crumb.com)) and Pasta Piñata (Not a show... a cult' (BingeFringe.com)), meet Helicops – an elite underground force of anthropomorphic helicopters who take on the cases too extreme for normal human police officers to handle. Veteran Helicop detective Rotary is one hour from retirement when his partner is mysteriously killed... He must train up a new recruit, avenge his partner's murder, and learn the meaning of modern-day masculinity. A surreal, high-energy, comedy-noir detective drama (with songs).

The title of this whacky show, Helicops 1: Find Your Wings! begs an immediate question: what exactly is a ‘helicop’? Well, of course, it’s a half-human, half-police-officer, half-helicopter. Naturally. 4 Stars
The sheer joy and fun the performers have is infectious and it feels like the audience is being invited to play along with the nonsense as much as those on stage.
