This show is from a previous year's festival

In 1926, shoemaker Ab Solomons drew on the wage-packet he gave to his wife Celie. He then drew a cartoon weekly throughout their marriage until the early eighties. These cartoons, chronicling the Solomons’ family life through all their ups and downs, were recently discovered by his great nephew.

Danny Braverman’s solo show tells the funny and moving story of how he uncovered the lost art of his great-uncle. Premiering to critical acclaim at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013, bread&circuses’ new show takes audiences on a journey of searing honesty, spanning decades and generations.

Winner of the Brian Way Award 2013 – ‘An epic story that takes hold of you from the moment a lid is taken off a shoebox and doesn’t let you go even after the play has finished.’

 ‘“One of the best shows I’ve seen in Edinburgh this summer, indeed one of the most touching I’ve seen all year.” The Guardian (Lyn Gardner)

**** The Times”a small gem”

***** Broadway Baby”… the touching and powerful imagery brought me close to tears and put my heart in my mouth.”

**** Exeunt”brilliant performance … golden flashes of insight.”
