About The Elephant and the Mouse
The Elephant and the Mouse present this audiovisual cabaret following history's most notorious villain — tonight going by the name Eddie — through an unlikely tale of emotional reckoning. Dressed in pink, heart literally worn on his sleeve where a swastika once sat, the show traces the journey from that final bunker breakfast, through Hell's gates, via Jesus, a mountain master and Stephan the boyfriend. Part satirical stand-up, part confessional cabaret, it does its best to uphold the rules of engagement without triggering anybody. Running 60 minutes at the Subway, age guidance 18 and over.
Why see this show?
An audacious 60-minute cabaret that uses one of history's darkest figures as a vehicle for satire, confession and unexpected emotion. If bold material handled with theatrical craft sounds like your kind of Fringe evening, this one will linger long after you leave.
