About Scotsman Live
Scotsman Live presents this lovingly disrespectful homage to the classic film at the Auditorium as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Directed by Morag Fullarton, a multi-tasking cast transports audiences to Morocco in 1941, where Rick's bar teems with refugees and émigrés desperate for exit visas. When the beautiful Ilsa, Rick's long-lost love, walks in, the stage is set for fast-paced comedy and heartbreak. The show runs for 75 minutes and is rated 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, affectionate distillation of a beloved film performed with real wit. If you know and love the original, Morag Fullarton's version offers fresh pleasures; if you don't, it stands on its own.
