Forks & Hope's THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK Begins at Edinburgh Fringe Festival Today
The Forks & Hope ensemble has brought their celebrated devised adaptation of the Lewis Carroll poem The Hunting of the Snark to the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, playing through August 15. Originally produced by Strawdog Theatre Company in Chicago, the 50-minute, family-friendly adventure has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as 'mesmerizing,' 'thrilling,' and above all: 'fun.'
The Hunting of the Snark was The Chicago Reader's Member Pick: "Director Josh Sobel packs ample Carrollesque fancy into Strawdog Theatre Company's 50-minute adaptation, his childlike 12-person cast embarking on spontaneous adventures and inventing ingenious images out of suitcases, bits of rope, and handheld lights," writes Justin Hayford.
