2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Alexander Fox: Snare
'Mrs Richardson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?' In 2011, Alexander Fox left school and went to music college, where he began an illicit affair with his drum teacher. Their lives became intertwined, then increasingly dark and dangerous as Alexander learned a few more lessons at college than he'd anticipated. Set in a recording studio around an electronic drum kit, Whiplash meets The Graduate in this drumming comedy experience, from the creator of cult hit Ringo, and one of the UK's most innovative and adventurous new talents. 'Brilliantly funny and inventive' (David Walliams). 'Excellent' (Jack Dee).
