Garry Starr: Classic Penguins

Garry Starr: Classic Penguins is Damien Warren-Smith’s irreverent solo comedy at The Other Palace. Convinced that literature is facing extinction, the self-appointed penguin races through a wildly compressed collection of Penguin Classics, reworking famous novels with clowning, physical comedy and very little clothing beyond a pair of flippers. Directed by Cal McCrystal, the show is a fast, absurd celebration of books and performance that arrives in London after sell-out seasons in the West End and Edinburgh.
