Israphel’s Book: Second Chance To See

If you’ve been paying attention you might remember that we premiered our first long de Saw/Finkle show at the Edinburgh Fringe. It was called Israphel’s Book, and it involves everything you expect from those two: singing, sawing and stitched together stories.

Busy, busy, busy

And not just that. There’ll also be live music from Markee de Saw and Bert Finkle. If you’re in the vicinity, […]
