TRISTRAM SHANDY: LIVE AT LONDON! Coming to OSO Arts Centre
Tristram Shandy's sizzling autobiography, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, has been in print for 240 years. To celebrate, Tristram is touring the country, wowing audiences with a theatrical extravaganza which captures the scandal, wit and wisdom of this instant classic.
StraightUp Productions will present "Tristram Shandy: Live at London!" by Will Dalrymple, November 7-8 at the OSO Arts Centre, 49 Station Road, Barnes, London, SW13 0LF.
Laurence Sterne's "famously unadaptable" novel Tristram Shandy has been adapted into an "explosive, anarchic and all-together hilarious" (The Tab) reimagining that gleefully lampoons the culture of celebrity autobiography and brings an obscure and challenging text to a wider audience than it has ever enjoyed before.
Will Dalrymple's adaptation of Tristram Shandy was first put on in 2015 at Cambridge's ADC Theatre and taken to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016. Will also co-wrote and performed in Pity Laughs: A Tale of Two Gays which gained a five-star review from Broadway Baby who described it as "the first true gem of the 2017 [Edinburgh] Fringe". Will recently graduated from Jesus College, Cambridge and is a co-founder of theatre company 'StraightUp Productions'.
