An anarchic larger-than-life version of Alexandr Ostrovsky’s Too Clever By Half bursts on to the stage of Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre from July 10 to August 17.
This new production of the prolific Russian playwright’s best-known comedy is presented by the Exchange in association with the internationally acclaimed theatre company Told By An Idiot and follows their partnership with the Exchange on You Can’t Take It With You for Christmas 2011.
Backstabbing, greed, and odd characters combine with the Idiot’s anarchic energy to create a comedy that is surreal and physical. Made especially for the Exchange space, it is aimed at all the family.
