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)

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.

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!

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.

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.

I'm just back from tonight's performance of A Field of Our Own. Thought it was excellent. Everything from staging,costumes,music and acting were very good. Really enjoyed seeing our history brought to life.

I heard there was a fair few inaccuracies with 1902 regarding the actual cup final game. This was from guys that went to see one of the first performances so may have been ironed out now.
