The madcap comic play Classic! races through a multitude of classic novels at lightning speed in 60 minutes using some unlikely production styles.
Moby Dick becomes a sea shanty, Jane Eyre is a silent movie, Oliver Twist is a film noir and Black Beauty a pantomime… and that’s just scratching the surface!
Expect the unexpected! No previous literary experience required. A thrilling script by Coronation Street writers Lindsay Williams and Peter Kerry and direction by Joyce Branagh (sister of Kenneth) this brilliantly funny show is for everyone!
This was a very unusual and special opportunity to take images in the Library’s reading room, where access is rarely granted for a Fringe photo call.
And to cap it off the library brought out some rare first editions and handwritten letters from the likes of authors Robert Louis Stevenson and Jane Austen!
‘Classic’ is on at The Pleasance Courtyard Aug, 9-14, 16-21, 23-29 at 2:40pm
