More details

Actress and comedian Beth Vyse takes her brilliant one woman show, Going Dark! to the Edinburgh Festival this year, the show will be playing in the cinema room at The Banshee's Labyrinth from the 3rd to 24th August. (exc 12th).

Going Dark! is a tale of the unexpected. It is a fantastical journey following the completely surreal life of dying actress Betsy Lynn, who meets a plethora of bizarrely outrageous characters. Vyse performs a tour de force as she brings to life, on stage and screen, her uniquely disturbing creations. The show is a multimedia delight for fans of the surreal, sublime and completely ridiculous. Think Julie Walters meets The Mighty Boosh, but in better wigs!

A unique talent, Beth Vyse has been able to combine her acting skills with a sharp and surreal sideways glance on the world.
