A lovingly disrespectful homage to one of the classic films of all time, a superb multi-tasking cast whisk you back to Morocco 1941, a Nazi-infested hotbed of corruption, teeming with refugees and all the flotsam and jetsam of war-torn Europe. Cut to Rick's bar where the émigrés gather, desperate to get hold of the all-elusive exit visa, when who should walk in but the beautiful Ilsa, Rick's long-lost love... Morag Fullarton's fast-paced distillation of Casablanca will have you raise a Bogart-style eyebrow, shed a Bergman-like tear and drown out the Nazis.

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.

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.
