Details

Tailor. Soldier. Fugitive. Man. Born in Gnilowoda, Poland 1919. Died in Inverness 1992. "I come from the Soviets and the Nazis. I come from a farm, from the forests and fields of green Ukraine, from the ruins of Germany, from the beaches of the Adriatic, from the grimy streets of Glasgow and the cool air of Inverness." Words, music, dance and video combine to tell the moving story of this ordinary man caught by the murderous tides of the Second World War. Performed by one of Scotland's leading actors, two of Scotland's best traditional musicians and directed by the acclaimed Ben Harrison of Grid Iron. A chance to see one of the outstanding productions from the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe; winner Scotsman Fringe First; Holden Street Theatre Award, Adelaide, Australia and Stage Award for Best Solo Performer. Show runs 1hr 15mins
