The critically acclaimed Fishing 4 Chips returns to Edinburgh with another sure-fire hit.
Playfully immersive, Burning Down The Horse presents the untold story of what happened inside Epeius’ wooden structure as it trundles towards Troy. Under the leadership of a hopelessly inept Odysseus is Acamas, his second in command, who can’t decide whose side she is on, Ajax the Lesser who wishes he was greater, Echeon who has lost his sword, Epeius who has stowed away and is stirring up trouble, Anticlus who has been plotting against Odysseus for some time and the audience who definitely don’t have a clue what’s going on.
It's clear to everyone, except Odysseus, that the plan is a terrible one and we are all going to die, so, with time running quickly out, we must try anything to prevent our inevitable doom.
Burning Down The Horse is a daft, fast-paced comedy, performed with a high gag-rate and infectious enthusiasm by a young and gifted cast. Those put off by the promise of this being interactive should give it a shot, as the audience engagement is generously managed and non-invasive.
