About the event
‘The Starship Osiris’ is a comedy sci-fi farce about an arrogant theatre maker’s failed attempts to put on a show.
It contains live music, puppetry, videography and audience participation and is non-stop fun from blast off to touchdown!
George Vere’s intention is to write, direct and star in his own sci-fi, playing the handsome and brave lead; the heroic Captain Harrison. But after insulting his co-star Adam Willis one too many times, Adam flips and leads a vicious cast mutiny against the show and its creator.
We see the show as having two distinct halves.
The first half is George’s badly written sci-fi, in which he is constantly saving the day, adored by the women and belittling Adam.
The second half – Adam’s mutiny – is a complete shift in style, going from a straight laced play with serious intentions, to a chaotic free-for-all with audience participation and improvised elements, all designed to stop George’s attempts to regain control.
The play will be underscored throughout by a pianist and three singers, who also double as crewmembers on the ship. There will be film sections used throughout the first half, mainly so that George can play multiple characters at once.
Audience reations have been universally postitive and this unique show will no doubt be a smash hit at the Fringe.
Why should you sponsor?
Edinburgh generates huge interest, with people travelling from across the globe to be involved in the largest theatre festival in the world.
It's a great showcase for a business of any size to affliliate themselves with the young artistic scene.
We believe we have created something genuinely new and exciting and we are working hard to be able to create a show that has a life span longer than an Edinburgh run.
