Gyntish Self, The
Synopsis:
a fantastically imaginative retelling of Ibsen's Peer Gynt by a team of up-and-coming Scottish playwrights. Peer's going to have to face up to himself. He's a selfish, cheating loser and no amount of lying will change that. "Timed to coincide with this year's centenary of Ibsen's death, the baby-faced Measureless Liars company have set themselves the ultimate challenge of updating the Norwegian's most audacious epic to a bite-sized 55 minutes. What they've come up with in this soap-opera-style treatment remains pretty faithful, as crotch-led tearaway Peer does a runner as an errant Father to enter a class-bound world of golf playing, Chris de Burgh-loving toffs." - the Herald; "a fun mix of surrealism and naturalism, this play deals with themes of deceit and death, as we follow Peer Gynt around his world of polygamy and bad deeds. . .the piece provokes interesting reactions, causing us to sympathise with the evil protagonist as we start to see elements of him in our daily subconscious and dream lives." - Three Weeks; "a fast-paced piece with a large dose of humour" Scottishtheatre.co.uk
