The Best Interactive Russian Literature Gambling Show In The World Comes To Edinburgh Image

Ahh, Russia! Home of words! Home of books and plays! Home of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Chekov, Brezhnev, Gogol!

Russian literature is the finest in the world. Gambling devices are also excellent! In this show, we combine Russian literature with gambling devices! Hurray! Roll a five, someone gets cholera! Land on red and communism happens! Roll a seven and Anna Karenina turns into a balalaika! Roll a one for the KGB!

Comedian Will Seaward (Will Seaward Spooky Midnight Ghost Stories, Will Seaward's Socialist Fairytales) and actors Sullivan Brown (Every Wild Beast, From Dust) and Jonathan Ashby-Rock (The History Boys, Around the World in 80 Days) present this show which puts dice back in Dicetoyevsky and the bookie back in Russian books!

Completing the cast are Kara Taylor Alberts (Robin Hood, The Hired Man), Dominic Allen (The Bridge That Tom Built, Providence), James Carney (Unseen Hour, DROLL), Laura Hannawin (This was the World I was the King, Mildred and the Midnight CIty) and Rosie Nicholls (News Revue, A Midsummer Night's Dream).

Jonathan Ashby-Rock and Philip Ryder are two of London's most exciting young producers. They have produced more than of 35 productions across the UK and in the West End. In 2015, Jonathan & Philip took over the running of The Paul Robeson Theatre in Hounslow, rebranding it as The Arts Centre Hounslow.
