YOU are the orchestra.
Boorish Trumpson is your rehearsal-conductor.
Just your rehearsal-conductor…just for rehearsal…absolutely no other ambitions. None. Nope.
Experience the brilliance of Claire Parry as Boorish Trumpson at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year in the setting of the glorious Assembly Rooms.
After captivating and terrifying audiences in the UK, Lecoq-trained clown Claire Parry is bringing a world of virtuosic physicality, playful absurdity and “top conducting” back to Edinburgh.
This show features clowning games, audience interaction and orchestral manipulations
Boorish Trumpson comments on his trip to Edinburgh, "It is with great pleasure that you will be participating in my takeover masterpiece this summer."
Show creator Claire Parry said, "As I watched in horror at contemporary politics imploding around me, I wanted a way to investigate pursuing power for power's sake over principles. Becoming a megalomaniac orchestra conductor with a penchant for the vibraslap was the natural next step."
This is Claire Parry’s second solo show following her Edinburgh debut of Intolerable Side Effects in 2019. Following her physical theatre training at Lecoq and her comedy training in the North Wall Oxford’s Arts Labs programme she has been developing her unique hybrid of socio-political comedy-theatre-music in London. She also works as an actor, director, musical director and movement director - and takes an equally interdisciplinary approach to her own work.
