| Latin!
by Stephen Fry
amo, amas, an awful mess...
We were honoured when
Stephen Fry gave us his blessing to revive Latin!, perhaps
the most outrageous work of an always colourful career.
This highly original play, in which the audience are at
one moment regaled as naughty schoolboys, at the next eavesdroppers
to very private conversations, upends that most backwardly
British of establishments, the public school. Our acclaimed
revival played seven venues around the UK during 2002 and
2003, including a three-week run-out at London’s King’s
Head. Along the way the production became the centre of
a media storm after the Tories tried to score a few cheap
points by calling for it to be banned.

the sharpest and best-acted hours of Edinburgh theatre I
