Incognito Theatre burst back onto the VAULT Festival stage with their raucous and riotously funny comedy: The Net Kill. Set at the end of the nineteenth century, Incognito use their award-winning physical style and theatrical bombast to tell this absurd and heart-warming story. A five-man badminton team are sent on a quest to vanquish a mysterious beast that has been terrorising the English countryside. Along the way, challenges are faced and truths are revealed, as Incognito interrogate the notions of friendship, brotherhood, and how men express their emotions and support each other in the face of grave danger.
Formed in 2014 by a group of friends as the first "XYP" Company with The Pleasance, Incognito Theatre Company are an award winning theatre company known for their heart-thumping physical theatre and detailed story telling. Having enjoyed several back-to-back sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival and successful runs at VAULT Festival with their award winning shows, Tobacco Road and All Quiet On The Western Front, Incognito have since toured worldwide including New York and Hong Kong. Winners of the Les Enfants Terrible Greenwich Partnership Award in 2018 and most recently receiving an OffCom for their adaptation of All Quiet On The Western Front at VAULT Festival 2020, Incognito return to VAULT with their hilarious new comedy full of theatrical bombast and their trademark physical style.
