EDINBURGH 2016: BWW Q&A - Nick Hall
BWW speaks to Nick Hall about his 2016 Edinburgh Fringe show Szgrabble!
Tell us a bit about Szgrabble!
It's a Cold War comedy thriller in which I play all the characters. There's spying, suspense, seduction - and Scrabble.
What was the inspiration behind the show?
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, John le Carre, the Cambridge spy ring, the Cold War, plus a little bit of Karate Kid.
How many characters are featured?
Twenty-five, plus a few cameos and some dodgy accents.
How would you describe your style of comedy?
Fast-paced, energetic, a joke every 20 seconds, and sweaty.
Who would you recommend comes to see the show?
Anyone from age eight to 80! Although it's 12+, so let me rephrase that. Anyone from age 12 to 80!
