Gargantua

"a tingling combination of physical theatre, music and ravishing images- a place to glimpse heavens as well as hell."
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
"the show is one of the most beguiling, atmospheric and touching I have ever seen in Edinburgh. . .a glorious celebration of life and human appetite."
Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph
"visually inventive, verbally explosive. . .the episodes of Gargantua form an arc, one which rises from bleakness towards lusciousness and which finally sinks into wistfulness. . .it is urgent, inventive and expansive."
Susannah Clapp, The Observer
"exquisitely staged in a descending series of magical tunnels and caverns. . .a show that is not only rude and exuberant, but also astonishingly beautiful."
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
"lip-smackingly, gob-smackingly original feast of delights. Gargantua is the big hit."
Nick Curtis, Evening Standard
