MOOT MOOT
It's all about you and your opinions... so get in touch!
Doppelganger DJs Barry and Barry desperately seek connection with the world beyond...
Cade & MacAskill spew out their dark and riotous take on modern communication, as the identical hosts in a surreal phone-in talk show. Finding humour, warmth and despair in the absurd, they spin a thick web of cliches and catchphrases in their outer space echo-chamber, accompanied by a weird, wild soundscape by Yas Clarke.
Selected for both British Council and Made In Scotland Showcases as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2019.
Shortlisted: Scottish Theatre Award on the Fringe (Scottish Arts Club)
reviews
★★★★★ “Spooky, sinister, skilful” VoiceMag
★★★★ “A side-splitting spectacle that highlights our modern era’s destruction of opinion with captivating use of sound and minimal set.” The List
★★★★ “Sharp, smart, and seriously entertaining. The rapid ping-ponging back and forth of listener-hungry phrases is consummately timed and hilarious" The Herald
