 STUNNING THE PUNTERS
by Steven Berkoff, Robert Sproat & Fyodor Dostoevsky
directed by Laurence Boswell
Three
stories of imagination run wild!
An out-of-work actor's frustration explodes over
breakfast in Steven Berkoff's Master of Cafe Society, an ex-skinhead tells
a tale with a ghostly twist in the title story by Glaswegian writer, Robert
Sproat, and a would-be suicide dreams of paradise in Dillon's own adaptation
of The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Stunning the Punters is a breathtakingly arrogant name to give to a
show; it is also entirely accurate.
THE INDEPENDENT
Nowhere in the world will you hear a sharper sermon about human frailty
this Sabbath... This is the craft of acting carried to a pinnacle
of virtuosity.
SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY
...my spirits are restored by George Dillon's display of theatrical
technique, timing and diction of flawless precision... His Dream of
a Ridiculous Man is my Fringe discovery.
THE SUNDAY TIMES
A compelling piece of theatre: make haste to catch it...
THE TIMES
One-man theatre at its most intelligent and most powerful. Don't
wait to be told about it, or to read another critical paean - go and
see for yourself.
