2013 Edinburgh Fringe

After a sell-out student success at Cambridge University's ADC Theatre, this 'brilliant new stage production' **** (Varsity) of the classic Roald Dahl story will delight children and adults alike with its tale of love and celery, told through the eyes of Alfie the tortoise. Music, juggling, hummus, the Tortoise-Clincher-2000 and an epic rock-paper-scissors battle all combine in this 'absolutely charming play' (CambridgeStudent.ac.uk) to try to answer the question: should true love come before tortoises? 'If you're a person of any description, you'll enjoy it' **** (TabCambridge.co.uk).
