A Night of Drama
Grab a banana peel. Join the rebellion.
People of Edinburgh: grab a peel. Join the rebellion and prepare to cry so hard you accidentally laugh. Watch a prolific director guide a company of comedians through his dramatic masterpiece, as you shower them with bottomless banana peels!*
Have you ever suffered at the hands of theatre, yet felt obligated to join in endless ovations and applause? A Night of Drama does not want your pity! If the director fails to deliver a dramatic show, peel him without mercy. But if he succeeds, you will cry and theatre shall live another day. *Peels provided.
