FOLLOWING their recent appearance at feva (Knaresborough Festival of Entertainment and Visual Arts), Penny Plain will be performing their entertaining romp, The Entire History of the North, at Ripon Festival... and it's free.
The city square will be the venue for the show tomorrow at 11.30am and 2pm.
Ripon Festival organisers invited the return of Penny Plain after audiences enjoyed last year’s show, Black Hearted Evil.
Back in the familiar guise of a rabble of ever-hopeful Victorian travelling players, Malvolio Hardcastle’s Mighty Excelsior, the company will appear with their specially created travelling theatre booth based on descriptions of the humblest “penny gigs” that entertained fairground audiences in Victorian times.
This year the troupe of down-and-out actors and misfits are on a mission: to condense 3,000 years of northern history into as many seconds. Without letting little things like facts get in the way, their marathon tale descends into their unique brand of mayhem.
