Question: What do you get if you cross a bombastic taxman with an elderly gravedigger? Answer: An anarchic and hapless philosophical comedy that has one hand on Beckett's shoulder and the other holding Shakespeare's pint. This is theatre that will make you think, laugh and frown.
Candid Theatre are a Manchester based company making their debut at this year's Buxton festival. Candid are spearheaded by playwright and director Ben Aitken. Asked about Candid's artistic ethos, Aitken offers: 'Let's call it benevolent interrogation, mixing fierce curiosity with comic lightness.' J and C was nominated for six awards at the University of Manchester Theatre Festival in 2010.
�The conception and journey of the play is something to behold. The script was written in the bath over the course of three evenings. The premier in Manchester was met with positive reviews. The writer and cast share a passion for camping and mineral water. The Buxton Fringe was the inevitable next step.
