Big Telly Theatre Co - 'One Sandwich Short of a Genius'
A family full of extraordinary eccentricities, delusions and behaviours which must be kept private at all costs. Unmentionable things and secrets (mum has lost her job, dad has replaced himself with a professional actor while he lives it up in Barbados) pale into insignificance when, in the middle of one stormy night a sixteenth century Spanish galleon complete with conquistador crashes into the side of their house. Everyone is hell bent on getting the boat ready to relaunch. By 5am bilges have been pumped, sails sewn, rigging rerigged and they’re ready to launch but it just won’t budge. The family sneak outside cannot believe their eyes. There is no back of the boat. The house looks totally normal. How will they break it to the conquistador? 'Melmoth' at Edinburgh Fringe 2013: “one of the best things I’ve seen at the Fringe”... “five-star show”... “Ambitious, joyfully messy, never at less than full-throttle, Melmoth is the Fringe at its best.”Date: 08/03/14
