Dik fights to make this huge novel joyous to a contemporary audience. But as Quixote chases impossible dreams, Dik faces his own dwindling relevance and mortality. A laugh-out-loud international co-production on the indignities of fighting the inevitable.
'Show of the year... so funny that your face will hurt' Bristol247
'Slapstick comedy and touching vulnerability... outstanding' Scotsman
'A brilliant achievement ... he has the audience eating out of his hand within the first five minutes and is greeted at the end with a rapturous standing ovation' Total Theatre
New to the Fringe? Start here. One performer, a thousand characters, big laughs and surprising heart – this is the kind of inventive theatre Edinburgh does better than anywhere else.
And if you are a veteran and think you've seen every solo show the Fringe can throw at you? Nope. This is a classic reimagined for the present day with astonishing invention, fearless storytelling, big belly laughs and theatrical magic.
