Louise H for Discworld Monthly (Issue 219) September 2015
✭✭✭✭✭
I would like to offer my thanks and praise to everyone at Duck in a Hat Production for making my first experience of Discworld on stage such a joy. The ingenious portrayal of Eric, presented at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, was the first Discworld play I have ever been aware of taking place in Scotland. So, donning my Death with Kitten hoody and Ankh-Morpork Post Office bag, off I went to Edinburgh to watch some people try to act out the madness that ensues in Eric. And boy did they deliver! I'm sure many would agree that it is no easy feat. But it was simply wonderful!
The cast were absolutely phenomenal, each and every one of them. An extremely talented bunch. I would like to add Nick Jennings to the list of "people who I would like to see play Rincewind on the big screen." Much praise must be awarded to the production team who clearly spared no expense. The scenery, the costumes, the sound and lighting, the script, THE LUGGAGE (oh the Luggage!) and the wonderful directing of the perfect comedic timing and acting all rolled up and laid out made this play nothing short of a pure delight to watch. If I was a critic this would definitely get a full five stars / thumbs up / high fives (pick your favourite).
Seriously, I cannot find a single thing I didn't love about the show.
So Duck in a Hat. Thank you and please, please grace Edinburgh with your presence again!
