COVERING THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL SINCE 1996
Meat (Catherine’s Club in association with Mermaids)
What decadence and debauchery. What secrecy. Black velvet and purple silk, pink soup and men dressed as waitresses: welcome to the Catherine’s Club. No women allowed, bizarre structures and a legacy of handed-down rituals, traditions and initiation processes. Do such societies still exist in our modern universities? Is this where leaders are created? ‘Meat’ is a succulent satire, dark, comical, critical and entertainingly introduced by Charlie Moon, the shining, flattering-cruel, President of the Club. The audience follow his every move of the eyebrow, is entranced by his smooth voice, seduced by the movement of his fine gloved hands; spellbound. On top of that, the script and other performers are the perfect complements to his talents.
Paradise in The Vault, 4-19 Aug (not 12), 7.10pm.
