Dr Plonk is a black and white, silent comedy feature in the style of the old silent comedies (think Harold Lloyd, Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Charlie Bowers), but with substantial contemporary relevance. Accompanied by a music score written specifically for the film (and able to be performed live if required), Dr Plonk will feature many of the elements of the old silent - slapstick, thrills and spills, romance, action and, above all, laughs... But the story will link the silent comedy world of the past, and the innocence it represents, into today's darker times, holding a mirror to aspects of our society with unexpected and humorous result.
