Back in the old, pre-pandemic days, there was a comedy that took the Toronto Fringe by storm. For those who have never attended or shown work at Toronto Fringe this may seem uneventful, however for those who have, you’ll know what a feat that is. The festival is sprawling, spanning a massive bustling city end to end, meaning that it can be tough to get a significant piece of the media and audience attention without significant monetary spend. But then there was The Huns.
The Huns captured the minds of critics and audiences, enjoying a sold-out run and multiple accolades. It was the show everyone was talking about when it is rare that there is such agreement on the highlight of the festival.
Michael Ross Albert’s The Huns now makes its way across the ocean, after much pandemic sourced delay, to debut at The Brighton Fringe. The dark comedy about millennial angst and modern workplaces only stands to ring more true in the post-pandemic but still-pandemic world of mixed working and pandemic anxiety it isn’t polite to talk about.
The Huns is presented as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival at The Rotunda Theatre May 21 to 29
May 21, 22 (15:00) / May 24, 25 (19:30) / May 28 (21:00) / May 29 (16:30)
