Mark Thomas
Tue 3 May 2011 – Sat 28 May 2011
Extreme Rambling (Walking The Wall)
“The political comedian walked the West Bank to see what life is like on both sides. The resulting show makes you laugh, shudder and think.”
“Thomas is an accomplished anecdotalist, creating instantly accessible characters, from plummy post-colonial diplomats to a Middle Eastern Monty Python fanatic. Horrifying and hilarious… blisteringly powerful.” Evening Standard
Never one to take the easy option, Mark decided to go rambling in the Middle East and walked the entire length of the Israeli Separation Barrier crossing between the Israeli and the Palestinian side.
This is the story of 300,000 settlers; a 750km wall; six arrests, one stoning; too much hummus and a simple question… “Can you ever get away from it all with a good walk?”
‘Moving and inspiring…as gripping as any live performance you will see’
‘A brilliant investigative journalist disguised as a comedian… very funny indeed’
