A completely riotous, hilarious comedy farce depiction of the classic novel by John Buchan, as adapted by Patrick Barlow and directed by Maria Aitken.
The entire performance was played by only four actors, who were cleverly able to depict the 130 characters throughout… ingenious! The performance includes spies, backdrops with moving shadow puppets, death-defying feats of escape and deliberately funny yet badly done, silly special effects, which worked to produce even more laughter.
Madcap!
Summary
The show was a great spoof of the original movies versions, and if you like laughter, you’ll be entertained for the whole 100 minutes. Well worth seeing.
