Starring Fringe favourite, Mike McShane, this sharply witty, insightful exploration of the unspoken contract between actor and audience skilfully dissects the art of performance whilst exploring the absurdities of life. Hailed as both a comic deconstruction of theatre and a profound look at human connection in the 21st century, The Event goes beyond the stage, inviting you to think, laugh and reconnect with what matters most. A thought-provoking, entertaining theatrical experience that will leave you talking long after the final bow. 'Incongruously entertaining' (Times). 'Intelligent and exhilarating' (Guardian). 'An extraordinary tour-de-force' (Scotsman). 'Delicious, perniciously mind-bending stuff' (Financial Times).
