Relive uncomfortable moments between famous characters as this historical tragi-farce explores intimate connections between two fascist dictators and two of the world’s most cherished storytellers.
Join Mussolini (Graham Roebuck) pilots a German plane over Russia with Hitler (John Demmery Green) at his side, puffing his chest and recounting grand tales of battle scars and past victories. The only thing that stops the Fuhrer from rolling his eyes is fear and holding on for his life.
Then join a boisterous Hans Christian Andersen (Brian Wrigley) as he overstays his welcome at Charles Dickens' (Roebuck) summer estate. Wrigley’s Andersen is animated and boisterous, with a touch of Borat and a pinch of Jim Carrey.
Both acts are filled with sharp wit and slapstick humour. Awkward situations, awkward silences and awkward handshakes abound in this show that should be of special interest for history buffs and those looking for a good laugh.
