Hello all!

In case anyone hasn’t had quite enough of me yet, I’ll be bringing my 2012 solo show THE RED HOURGLASS to the Edinburgh Fringe this year, from 6th-29th August at Stand 2 @ 12.20pm. It’s a weird one – I play three male and two female characters, none of them human – but I loooooved performing it and I’m really excited to be bringing it back.

Tickets available here.

FROM THE REVIEWS:

‘Long awaited, after the smash-hit success of The Moira Monologues, Alan Bissett’s new drama, is an equally hilarious series of monologues all played by Bissett himself, but this time with a political edge.’ – The Skinny

‘Excellently written and performed, this is definitely a work that holds you in its web — and a worthy successor to Bissett’s previous hit, The Moira Monologues’ – Broadway Baby

‘Whip-smart, distinctly Scottish humour…Bissett’s a joy to watch.’ – Fest Magazine

‘A playful, instantly engaging presence…this is sophisticated, completely captivating theatre.’ – 3 Weeks

‘As in the critically lauded Moira Monologues, Bissett’s a joy to watch as a solo actor, skilfully giving life to each character through versatility of voice and mannerisms.’ – Edinburgh Fest Magazine

‘Unique, intelligent, funny and inventive piece of adult theatre… Bissett has become a spiderman (and woman) that may not swing from high buildings with his web but who spins a rare tale and knocks Peter Parker in to a wee tin hat.’ – The Edinburgh Guide

‘It’s almost impossible for Bissett not to be funny. There’s no end of chuckles to be gleaned from his wry delivery. He embodies each spider with a unique personality and story, but what’s more impressive is the range of accents he manages to engage to comic effect.” – British Theatre Guide

‘Who knew it could be so enjoyable to spend an evening trapped in a room with a gang of man-sized spiders? A real Fringe gem.’ – Alice Jones, The Independent

‘Highly entertaining…Bissett’s witty, well-observed writing combines well with his bold, shape-changing performance…A delightfully unusual piece of theatre.’ – Mark Brown, The Herald

‘Bissett is a terrific performer, capable of terrifying, high-speed transitions..[has] wit, sharp political intelligence, and an ability to entertain his growing army of fans.’ – Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
