Yellow

Twelfth Night meets The Thick of It in a modern-day political reimagining of what might have become of Malvolio after his fall from grace. This multinational production comes to the Edinburgh Fringe fresh from a sell-out run of previews.

Mal, once a ministerial adviser, now defends fraudsters in a shabby law firm. Rosie, an idealistic young lawyer, offers him a way back to his old life – but in a world where the highest ideals are sustained by the grubbiest actions, what looks like redemption might be a trap.

Written by a senior political insider, Yellow is a witty, thought-provoking depiction of the realities – and compromises – of office life, law and politics.
