ADLER & GIBB PROGRAMMED AS PART OF SUMMERHALL FESTIVAL

Summerhall Festival 2016 is staging a re-working of Tim Crouch’s Adler & Gibb which premiered at the Royal Court theatre in 2014 . The original production was directed by Tim Crouch and the cast included Denise Gough, Amelda Brown, Brian Ferguson and Rachel Redford.

Adler & Gibb tells the story of a raid – on a house, a life, a reality and a legacy.

The play takes Tim Crouch’s fascination with form and marries it to a thrilling story of misappropriation.
Janet Adler and Margaret Gibb were conceptual artists working in New York at the end of the last century. They were described by art critic Dave Hickey as the ‘most ferociously uncompromising voice of their generation’. With Adler’s death in 2004, however, the compromise began.

Adler & Gibb will run over three and a half weeks and will be staged by the same creative team as its 2014 run.
