Description
And it was written: let there be a book tour. Tristram Shandy's sizzling autobiography, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, has been in print for 240 years. To celebrate, the author is touring the country, wowing audiences with a theatrical extravaganza which captures the scandal, wit and wisdom of this instant classic. Morrissey's autobiography went straight to Penguin Classics; well Tristram's got Oxford and Wordsworth as well. Although we tend not to talk about the Wordsworth edition.
After acclaimed runs in Cambridge and Edinburgh, StraightUp is very proud to present Will Dalrymple's "masterful" (The Tab) adaptation of Laurence Sterne's hilarious and groundbreaking novel, praise for which includes:
“Every scene, in fact glitters with more wit than lesser shows muster in an hour.”
“Deliciously intelligent script, coupled with unerring direction”
- Varsity 4.5/5 stars
“Laurence Sterne’s seemingly unadaptable novel Tristram Shandy is masterfully adapted and unapologetically performed [...]. An explosive, anarchic and all-together hilarious twist on the original nine volume epic.”
“Every element of this production crackled with a fast-paced farcical energy”
“If you enjoy fast paced, absurd, ‘meta’ comedy complete with linguistic playfulness and larger than life performance, I cannot recommend this show enough.”
- The Tab 4/5 stars
