Description

Caught in a storm and looking for help, Murdo knocks on the door of a dark, old house and the family inside seems to be expecting him. A bizarre quintet of siblings is waiting for their father to die and Murdo is somehow involved... Brilliantly treading the fine line between surreal and sinister, An Unexpected Hiccup is a chilling night tale of comic misunderstandings and dangerous eccentricities presented by Lung Ha Theatre Company in collaboration with Plutôt la Vie. 'Full of wit, wisdom, and bold, boundary-busting theatrical energy' (Scotsman).

All Edinburgh Theatre (4/5 stars) 32 days ago

Karen Tennent’s set, with its parade of doors, is a thing of beauty, and Simon Wilkinson’s lighting is gorgeously witty. There are moments of pure theatrical magnetism.
