Neil Gaiman, FourPlay String Quartet

In a revolutionary new concept of synchronised multi-media storytelling, Neil Gaiman will read aloud his story The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains. The renowned artist Eddie Campbell (From Hell) has illustrated the story and FourPlay String Quartet have created an entirely new underscore to the piece.

'It was simply amazing. .it was more than just a reading. It was a performance full of subtlety and nuance. Gaiman kept 2000 people on the edge of their seat.' (S.T.S.O.O.I. BLOG)

Created and performed for a sell-out crowd at Sydney Opera House's world-renowned Graphic Festival, then repeated a year later for cutting edge festival Mona Foma in Tasmania, this haunting tale of adventure, revenge and treasure, told as a hybrid between a storyteller, an artist and a string quartet comes by popular demand to Edinburgh for one performance only.
