Billed
as a parody by Dan and Jeff, "Potted Potter" is set to
cover the first six books in the Harry Potter series also including
readings from the final book 'Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows'.
I
attempted to see this show last year but didn't manage to get a
ticket. I was therefore delighted to get in to this virtually sold
out 2007 version. Jeff is obviously a Harry Potter fan with his
friend Dan they decide to do an Edinburgh Fringe show. Ok so far,
except the only thing Dan seems to know about is Quiditch. Dan is
charged with getting the cast, props and set but spends all the budget
on a fire breathing flying dragon.
The
comedy, pathos, quick changes, slapstick and story presented in this
hour is brilliant. The writing is very clever and captures the essence of each book. Dan and Jeff are good-looking talented
and obviously fit.
By
the way we do actually get to play Quiditch!
How?
Go
and get a ticket if you can and find out.
