KinkyFish Theatre

If a friend or loved one was faced with a terminal illness, how far would you be willing to go to help end their suffering?

Spoofing for Gordon introduces four friends, meeting to fulfil a decade-old pact to decide – via a game of Spoof - who will help ‘assist’ the once fun-loving Gordon, now lying in a near-vegetative state. Promises and loyalties are put to the test as an agreement that ten years earlier seemed so clear-cut becomes complicated, each of them soon realising that nothing is black and white any more…

Following successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2010 and 2013, KinkyFish make their Camden Fringe debut this year, presenting the world premiere of Spoofing as part of a double-bill of plays written by collaborator Duncan Battman (the other play being Consequences).

With Spoofing, Kinkyfish & Battman deftly tackle the still controversial and often divisive topic of euthanasia with sensitivity and humour, using this as a framework to present another intriguing series of intimate character portraits and complex human relationships, in a trademark style which Battman has developed and crafted from his earlier works, Consequences and The Birdwatcher.
