Casablanca: The Gin Joint Cut

Casablanca: The Gin Joint Cut: Gilded Balloon Productions, Tron Theatre Company

Casablanca: The Gin Joint Cut, written and directed by Morag Fullarton, is 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 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...

Set in a tiny gin joint, this fast-paced, action-packed comedy is a smart and lovingly disrespectful tribute to an all time classic film. So raise a Bogart-style eyebrow, shed a Bergman-like tear, and drown out the Nazis with a rousing chorus of the Marseillaise as you revisit one of the greatest films of all time.

Casablanca: The Gin Joint Cut is a gem of a play, starring comic actor Gavin Mitchell – impersonating Humphrey Bogart playing Rick Blaine – alongside a brilliant cast of Clare Waugh and Jimmy Chisholm.
