The latest riotous comedy from Edinburgh’s own, The Dead Parrot Collective, who return to the Fringe this year with a few tricks up their (wizard) sleeves. As war rages across the fantasy kingdom of Armillaria, and magic itself fades, five hapless rogues launch a desperate heist to save the world. Standing in their way? Scheming nobles, arcane assassins, a box of goblins and worst of all... each other. As their most ambitious project to date, the Parrots set out to prove once again, even grand tales can be told on a meagre budget.
