He was also the first to reach the legendary trading city of Timbuktu. According to the Scottish-Danish team behind this production, Park\u2019s account of his travels reads like a Hollywood blockbuster \u2013 so they set out to build an epic theatrical experience out of it. And within the confines of a Fringe theatre, boy, do they succeed. A rip-roaring entertainment and a salutary story. ~ 4**** With Matthew Zajac as Mungo Park Directed by Martin Lyngbo Written by Martin Lyngbo and Thor Bjorn Krebs \u201cMatthew Zajac\u2026cementing himself as one of my favourite contemporary stage actors\u2026Anders Christensen and Kingsley Amadi, both great actors.
