Park Theatre - Park 90 | Underbelly fresian
Overview
Just before Fringe 2024, Linus Karp (Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, Gwyneth Goes Skiing, The Fit Prince) was the victim of a homophobic attack. The case never went to trial… Until now.
Linus Karp was hit with an umbrella. The attacker shouted that he would’ve killed him. The show retells the events and the aftermath – the police investigation, the public response, performing at Edinburgh Fringe days after and the heroic acts of Joseph Martin, and then dramatises the trial that never came to be…
It’s also funny.
