Russell Kane's Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel
Comedy
A two person comedy play
Rescheduled from 25 February. All tickets still valid.
After last year’s acclaimed debut Edinburgh play, Russell Kane’s Fakespeare is back with a brand new bawdy romp in blank verse. Following a hit three-day run at last year’s Festival and a prestigious performance at the RSC’s main stage in Stratford-Upon-Avon last autumn, the double if.comedy Award nominee returns to present Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel.
King Nigel is an Essex banker who has lost everything. No options are left (yes - a banking pun), and thus he must himself do in. But can his secret love and PA - Donna of Billericay - save him from himself? Or will she also be pulled in to his bubbling pit of excremental mental evil and that?
“When is
a burger no longer a burger, and
not even bread. Removéd from my bun,
I am but a limp patty, a meat-head.
A false whopper, lying at mine own feet.
The chips are down, all is lost and gambled.
I, unking’d, am mayonnaised with fat lies.
Whopper in name only, thus shallow fried.”
Russell Kane writes, directs and stars alongside Sadie Hasler (Al Murray’s Multiple Personality Disorder ITV1) in Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel: a story of financial loss and unspoken lust - set in a modern-day Essex where everyone speaks in Shakespearean verse.
"Wonderful play from this very gifted young comedian." Time Out
"The rising star surpasses himself… Clever and funny." The Sunday Times
