StompP finds beauty and music in the mundane - from boots and bins to zippo lighters and plumber's plungers - everything including the kitchen sink becomes part of this production as a cast of 8 performers make instruments out of brooms and turn hand-clapping into conversation. With energy and toe-tapping exuberance, Stomp takes the clutter and junk of everyday life and transforms it into a theatrical event. Run time 1hr 45mins

I did a 'Stomp' workshop once, which consisted of me banging a bin lid with a plastic tube. By the end of the half hour session I regretted not bringing ear plugs. How you can put up with it for several hours is beyond me. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (62.254.0.34)

I saw the touring version and enjoyed it tremendously, especially the bit with the spinning plastic bottles - sheer magic! But the show was marred by the cast's tendency to overdo the comedy elements, which quickly became tiresome and slowed down the action. Well worth seeing though! - USER: Whatsonstage.com (195.92.168.177)
