ASSEMBLY @ GEORGE STREET | EDINBURGH SUITE
CACTUS: THE SEDUCTION Directed by Mark Chavez of the ‘Pajama Men,’ Jonno Katz takes the audience on a lush tour of the psyche. Both a love story and a carnival of boundless imaginings, this multi-award winner is like the kicking love child of the Wachowski Brothers and Andy Kaufman.
Festival Highlights
A heartfelt love letter to Auntie Beeb, by Dawson Award winning creator of ‘Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf’. A romp through 30 years of TV icons: this is the only comedy show in history to mention Quatermass, The Clangers and Juliet Bravo. Passionate and stroppy enough to be on Points Of View (during the Wogan years).
