Fringe Show 1902

***mutley*** · 13-08-2017 03:52 PM

Anyone seen it yet?

Dunno what it's like yet, starts in 10 mins, so I'll report back afterwards, but so far the venue has some nice old Hibs strips dotted about (le coq sportif ones)

Intending to go this week - would appreciate a review.

***mutley*** · 13-08-2017 06:14 PM

Just back from the show, I wasn't sure what to expect but here goes. It's in an intimate wee venue, with seating all around, not your usual everyone facing the stage thing. It was a nice wee story about 4 boys getting tickets for the cup final, and as you can imagine, doesn't quite go to plan.
Nice bit of am-dram, nice wee bits of humour and a few of our favourite songs get a little airing (yes even SOL at the end).

It's even possible that it actually happened (well maybe not but I could see it actually happening).

It lasts about 1 1/2 hours so a wee bit longer than the average fringe show.
Overall I really enjoyed it, and if you like going to fringe shows, and like hearing about Hibs winning the cup against The Rangers (and let's face it, who doesn't) then go see it.

Sounds good.

Went tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it.

**Souter96Mac** · 14-08-2017 07:25 PM

I saw it last Friday and it was great! Was surprised with the amount of non Scots in the audience as well, as we got chatting to a few after the show. A lot of Americans, and one woman who said that it was the 2nd time she'd seen the show!

To be honest felt a bit like walking into the Hibs Club tonight, must have recognised half the audience, a lot of faces familiar from Easter Rd!

**fife hfc** · 14-08-2017 08:07 PM

I saw on Friday and would recommend it. Decent wee show.

**Penicuik Hibee** · 14-08-2017 11:02 PM

It's excellent. Very intimate. Different. But good

But is it Art?

It's a lot better than some stuff I have seen at the Fringe over the years. As for art, I'd say so in a theatrical sense

What venue?

Venue No 506, in The Wee Red Bar. From Bristol Sq/Teviot/Guilded balloon, walk along Lauritston place past George Herriots and old infirmary, keep going until you get to the colledge of art on the right hand side. At the far end you'll see an opening big enough for vehicles and a sign pointing to "Wee Red". Follow the signs and your there.

Hope that helps

I see David Gray in the audience at the show tonight, photo on Facebook.

Saw it last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not quite what I expected based on the description but entertaining, funny and heartwarming in parts. Decent audience participation and it had the emotion of the day flooding back as well.

That's what caught me out, the description doesn't really do the show much justice, oh and without spoiling the story line, ( mini spoiler alert) I really liked the fact that the "jambo" character was a fat idiot

I adored every minute of this show. A strong cast and great writing. This is a must see - I laughed and cried. There is a lot of swearing so don't go if you are easily offended haha!

My only criticism is that perhaps the significance of the phrase '1902' was not fully met. The idea that you will never see or experience the thing you dream of because there is a hoodoo against you. That mindset goes beyond football - it's a mentality. That's why the 21st of May is so important. I understand the writer (also the main character) is a Hearts supporter so this is maybe why it didn't go deep enough for me.

My my point is, 90+2 was not just an incredible footballing moment: it is so much more than that. Maybe the show doesn't quite encapsulate that?

If you see one fringe show this year - make it 1902.

Or even used ER as the venue for the show and a tour before/ after it? Even open one of the bars and bring in some cash. Most people get to a venue earl for a few drinks and some stay afterwards )well, I do anyway)

ER is already being used as a Fringe venue. IMO, not a very good one as the acoustics are pretty poor.
