Bane 1 & 2

A multi-award winning one-man comedy with a live guitar soundtrack, Bane is a show set on the streets of a nondescript American city, akin to a Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett novel, spliced together with a Quentin Tarrantino movie.

Heavily inspired by film and graphic novels, the performance uses mime, gesture and sound effects to conjure the setting, with multiple character switching to create a filmic tapestry on stage that is funny, engaging and at times moving.

It’s a comic story of revenge with a tough talking anti-hero Bruce Bane, often dispensing a trio of bullets to the chest in search of those that wronged him. Playing with movie conventions and throwing in some dark humour to boot, Bane is the sell out Edinburgh show everyone is talking about. An intense manic verbal spectacular with one performer delivering a vocal and physical tour de force as antihero hit man Bane.
