    XTC: The Road to Oranges & Lemons

  • Overview

    The Road to Oranges & Lemons is a promotional short for the 1989 release of Oranges & Lemons. It features Andy, Colin, and Dave documenting and spoofing XTC's career from its formation and meeting with Barry Andrews, to recording its albums, to the "Dear God" controversy, and finally to Oranges & Lemons. The three make use of toys, pictures, and briefly a potato, to represent (and poke fun at) the different people XTC meets, as well as background sound effects and backdrops to represent different locations.

The curtains of a theatre open onto a smaller puppet theatre presided over by Marianne. The ringmaster waves her baton at three shadowy acrobats that climb one by one out of her hat. Each performs his number, although not without some difficulty. The clumsiness of the first, the mischievousness of the second, and the fieriness of the third trigger a few clashes that ultimately lead to chaos. How can Marianne create harmony without losing control? Will her show flop? Who's really calling the shots, the little puppet or her acrobats?

Bravely going where no ventriloquist has gone before, Nina Conti concocts a virtual zoo of puckish characters for this world premiere show. Talk to the Hand is an hour of nimble, profanity-strewn stand-up from the vibrant Nina Conti and her touring companions: the scruffy monkey, a posh-sounding owl-poet with a taste for generic verse, a Scottish granny, and the vodka-loving Lydia, recently purchased from another ventriloquist and yet to find a voice she likes. Her alter-egos come face to face with apparitions, special guests and real live humans which means you can rely on consistent lashings of warmth, technical brilliance, and vibrant wit.

The comedy theater “Cabaret Toujour” by Maulwurf, Falkenhorst and Kalle couldn't be better. When Kalle, the star of the theater, begins his stage program, the audience knows no bounds. The polar bear also loves to celebrate himself backstage. Richy constantly has to deal with the crook Spec to get Kalle some stimulants. The “Theater der Freude” on the other side of town, on the other hand, is not doing well at all. The irredeemable ensemble of Kasper, Seppel, Gretel, Grandma, Svetlana and Bodo can no longer attract an audience. So Kasper devises a plan to kidnap Kalle and extort a ransom from Falkenhorst and Maulwurf to settle the outstanding bills.
