The Duke

The Duke

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2017

In 2016, I sit at my desk waiting for an email to tell me what final changes I need to make to the film script I've been working on for 10 years. I turn the radio on. I hear a report about the refugee crisis. My mother phones. She tells me the porcelain figure of The Duke of Wellington my father had bought has broken. A funny and poignant show mixing fantasy and reality, playfully challenging our priorities. By two times Fringe First awarded performer and writer behind Edinburgh favourite, Hugh Hughes. Raising money for Save the Children.
