A lovingly disrespectful homage to one of the classic films of all time, a superb multi-tasking cast whisk you back to Morocco 1941, a Nazi-infested hotbed of corruption, teeming with refugees and all the flotsam and jetsam of war-torn Europe. Cut to Rick’s bar where the émigrés gather, desperate to get hold of the all-elusive exit visa, when who should walk in but the beautiful Ilsa, Rick’s long-lost love… Morag Fullarton’s fast-paced distillation of Casablanca will have you raise a Bogart-style eyebrow, shed a Bergman-like tear and drown out the Nazis.
Reviews say:
By Mark Brown, The Herald Scotland
“David MacLennan established the 1pm theatre programme known as A Play, A Pie And A Pint at Glasgow’s Oran Mor venue, and few shows have achieved quite the level of acclaim of Casablanca: The Gin Joint Cut.”
“Since it premiered at Oran Mor in 2011, the show has been showered with plaudits, both at Edinburgh Fringe and in Paris. The audience leaves the theatre not only thoroughly entertained and actively engaged, but also well acquainted with the film’s tale.”
“I haven’t heard a Scottish crowd cheer this loudly since Iceland beat England 2-1 in last year’s European nations football tournament.”
By Mary Brennan, Dance Critic, The Herald Scotland
“Of all the plays, in all the fifteen years and 30 seasons, this won the People’s Choice Vote. It’s a total joy, even nattier and fizzingly fun-tastic than the slightly longer original from 2010. We laugh in sheer delight at Micthell’s urbane Bogart.”
“Not a trick is ever missed here, whether it’s a moment of arch farce or a genuinely tender glance.”
By Across the Hearts
“Casablanca: The Gin Joint Cut is a lovingly disrespectful homage to one of the classic films of all time. First performed last year to sell-out audiences at Oran Mor”
“I simply can’t imagine anyone coming out of this without a huge grin plastered all over their face that will last all day long.” REVIEW by View from the stalls
“The makers of this one clearly adore the original. After this, you will want to play it again too.” REVIEW – Robert Dawson Scott, STV, 14/07/2011
