TWO MAN RUMBLE
Bastille Taverne, Glasgow - 21st April
Dunoon Grammar School - 27th April
Physical comedy's answer to the Discovery Channel - Metro (2004) - Perhilion are delighted to announce the return of their socio-alcoholic comedy, Two Man Rumble, playing two exclusive dates in April, one in Glasgow and a homecoming to Dunoon, before heading off to the Prague Fringe in June.
In Glasgow the evening will also feature DJ sets from Edinburgh's Melvitronica and long time Perhilion collaborators The Marcia Blaine School For Girls, who will be premiering material from their much anticipated new album, Halfway Into The Woods.
In Two Man Rumble Alasdair Satchel teams up with the Alasdair Macrae to present us with the definitive and revealing exposé of that most enigmatic of creatures in its natural habitat: the Scottish male on his nocturnal migration from the pub to the kebab shop.
British Theatre Guide (2004)
Macrae narrates, David Attenborough style, leading us through a day in the life of Warren (Satchel), our everyman. A human zoo of ageing studs, drunks, geezers and predatory girlfriends is laid bare in this disturbingly familiar habitat - the pub. By looking at the archetypes of the male character, and how they interact, passing by way of gambling machines, pub theme nights, urinals and inebriation, Two Man Rumble provides a glimpse of what truly makes up a male homo erectus sapiens sapiens. The play climaxes, as every stereotypically macho night must, with the fight to end all fights. With kebab in hand and protrusive foreheads to the fore, our hero battles with the Alpha male of the pub to a surprisingly insightful conclusion.
Not for nothing has Alasdair Satchel gained his reputation as a consummate performer of physical theatre - Scotsman (2004)
Last seen with a work in progress on Luggage through the Playwrights Studio at the Arches, Two Man Rumble follows Alasdair Satchel's critically acclaimed (5 stars in the Scotsman) One Man Rant. He is joined this time by performer and musician Alasdair Macrae, a regular of the Scottish stage, recently returned from a Balkan and Far East tour of Lost Ones for Vanishing Point.
It features original music commissioned from Glasgow Electronic Underground group 'The Marcia Blaine School For Girls' whose new album Halfway Into The Woods is forthcoming on Highpoint Lowlife.
