Photos: LINUS KARP WAS HIT WITH AN UMBRELLA at the Park Theatre
The Awkward Prods show heads to Underbelly Bristo Square after its sold-out Park Theatre preview.
All new photos have been released from Linus Karp's new solo show Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella, following a completely sold-out preview run at London's Park Theatre, ahead of the production's world premiere at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Check out the photos below!
Presented by Awkward Prods, Eric Kuhn Productions, Side Hustle Productions, Daddy's Money and David Tao, the show played at Park Theatre from 23-25 July before heading to Underbelly Bristo Square, where it runs from 5-30 August (excluding 18 August).
Written and performed by Linus Karp, Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella marks the first time Awkward Prods have created a production based on a true story. Inspired by the homophobic attack Karp experienced in Soho, London, in July 2024, the show explores the aftermath of hate crime through the company's distinctive blend of storytelling, theatrical invention and dark humour.
Developed with dramaturgy from Olivier Award nominee Haley McGee and creative support from Joseph Martin, the production follows Awkward Prods' previous successes including Gwyneth Goes Skiing, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story and The Fit Prince.
