Mistero Buffo
Mistero Buffo is a remarkable tale told brilliantly by Lawrence Boothman and directed by Ben Standish.
A storyteller emerges from the darkness. He’s here to shed some light.
With razor sharp wit and virtuoso storytelling, Mistero Buffo dissects the brazen injustices at the core of our society and exposes those who perpetuate them for their own interests. It’s brilliantly entertaining and provocative.
The new Scots language translation by Joseph Farrell re-contextualises Dario Fo and Francesca Rame’s iconic show for a Scottish audience.
It’s funny. It’s political. You’ll have a good night out.
Part of the Vanishing Point Winter Residency
Vanishing Point has chosen this solo performance because it draws from storytelling as much as theatre, challenging differences between artistic forms as much as it exposes divisions in society. With Laurence Boothman’s extraordinary performance at its centre, Ben Standish’s inventive new production benefits from enhanced technical and design development, enabling the artists to expand their vision for the show and its future life.
