Wes Anderson meets Hitchcock meets Spaghetti Western in this multi award-winning, intercontinental, inter-genre, cinematic caper of accusations, accidents and accents. Roger, a Frenchman in 1960's New York, has followed the same predictable routine for years, until a minor delay saves him from an explosion. Throwing his ordered world into chaos, Roger chases his would-be assassins around the globe. Raucously funny and endlessly inventive, this Lecoq-trained theatre company delights and stuns with live, original music and virtuosic acrobatics in this fast-paced whodunnit. Winner of the Carol Tambour Incentive Award, The Les Enfants Terribles and Greenwich Partnership Award, and Playbill’s “Pick of the Fringe” The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much is fast-paced, immediate and visceral, igniting the imagination with a whirlwind of images and sounds. Following two sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, a European tour, and an Off-West End run, Voloz Collective brings their smash hit to NYC.
