Written and performed by Alan Bissett. Directed by Sacha Kyle. A dazzling, surreal comedy from Alan Bissett, Fringe First-winning creator of The Moira Monologues and When Billy Met Alasdair. Here he plays five characters – three male, two female, none of them human – trapped in a mysterious research facility. This is a shape-shifting, virtuoso performance that confronts humankind’s greatest fears and will make you tremble... with laughter. 'Whip-smart... Bissett’s a joy to watch' ***** (Fest). 'Holds you in its web' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Sophisticated, captivating theatre' ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'A real Fringe gem' **** (Independent).
