About Harry Sherriff
Harry Sherriff's debut feature film screens as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at Screen 1. Set in a fading seaside hotel, the film follows a staff member who vanishes without trace, threading creeping dread through darkly comic absurdity. Samuel Blenkin delivers a deadpan central performance in what is described as a hauntingly funny debut. Unclassified, recommended for those aged 15 and over. The screening runs 90 minutes and includes the short film Terence, which runs for 15 minutes.
Why see this show?
A hauntingly funny debut with a deadpan central turn from Samuel Blenkin — this is seaside unease at its most quietly compelling. An unusual pairing of feature and short that rewards anyone who likes their comedy to arrive with a chill.
