Review: Inside No 9 Stage/Fright at the Edinburgh Playhouse
Anyone familiar with the acclaimed TV series Inside No. 9 will know a plot twist is always around the corner.
And the stage show is no different. Following their acclaimed BBC show which aired 55 episodes over nine seasons, creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith are touring their live show Inside No 9. Stage/Fright – which runs at the Edinburgh Playhouse until Saturday, November 29.
Much like the episodic series, audiences quickly learn to expect the unexpected, the first instance being when the jolting first line is broadcast around the theatre seconds after the curtain is raised.
Anyone unfamiliar with the comedy series will soon become accustomed to its sinister undercurrent, signature fast paced plot and witty dialogue, which leaves audiences laughing, captivated, and on edge in equal measure.
There are plenty of easter eggs for fans of the show, but newcomers, despite not acknowledging every reference, will no doubt be in awe of the creativity, striking production elements and memorable moments in this unique stage show.
Expect great performances, masterful storytelling and shocking revelations.
