Justin Butcher

             Assembly presents another set of outstanding shows at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest
Justin Butcher, his director-producer Guy Masterson and Assemby presented one of the most outstanding performances at 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest with the one man play Scaramouche Jones.
"
Justin Butcher performed well within the standard of a royal variety perfomance in his one man play Scaramouche Jones, and there was no hesitation in awarding Justin Butcher and his director-propducer Guy Masterson a USA Weekly News  100 Star Award for Scaramouch Jones....those that were lucky enough to see the one and only performance of  Scaramouch Jones were very fortunate indeed...."....., and there was no hesitation in awarding Justin Butcher and his director-propducer Guy Masterson a  Scaramouch Jones were very fortunate indeed....".....USA Weekly News 
. .  
However, these is another play with Justin Butcher to see at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest that is also a show not to be missed called Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea, at Assembly at 2.30 pm being performed from the 6th August till the 30th August, 2009. 
In Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea, Justin Butcher (Scaramouche Jones) and Ahmed Masoud conjure up a multi media Palestinian-British theatre alchemy. ' a harrowing joiurney into a very modern heart of darkness' (Stage') 'Profane witty, poetic, a voice form Gaza Beach itself ' (Tribune)

Scaramouche Jones ....Assemby Goerge Street one and only show....Monday 24th August
 'I went to see Scaramouche Jones. One man and a few props. The energy and accents ranging from his beginning of life, being born to a black mother and an unknown English Man. Justin Butcher is totally brilliant at imitating a brilliant Trinidanian accent and then an extremely posh English Gentlemans accent. From his birth and extremely early learnings of sitting in on his mothers brothel business. She, His mother, the Madame and prostitiute. He the inquisitive child, trying to find which of his mother's customers could be his father. Scaramouche's rabid energy takes him world wide being carried by impressed princes for his beautiful white skin. Scaramouche slaves himself to the princes demands but manages to keep intact a noble and proud spirit. He never finds his father and has so much sympathy to human kind as he amuses children who are about to be shot by nazi officers. As the shot is aimed the childs last breath of life is down to a smile given to them by Scaramouche's clown antics as he digs graves for the dead to be burried in.
Whirling through life from childhood to 51 no one would envy his life for a slave, he has always had to be but a romantic non complaining inquisitve slave, who never complains and ends his life with a bunch of reprobates who like himself have been the subject of slavery but the others who he meets to tell the story of his life to are too drunk on alcohol with their unhappiness of their lives and Scaramouche has avoided this for had he been a slave to self destruction he would never have appreciated all he saw.
 A brilliant piece that lasts an hour and a half. I  could not move for the duration as I followed Justin's breathtaking movements and changes in history form 1900 to 1951.' Sophie Gatacre INL News

Reviews FOR The Dog-Eared Collective
Since forming in 2005 The Dog-Eared Collective has performed at theatres, festivals, pubs, clubs, streets and roof tops. This is what them that can write say: Barnaby Brown: Orphan Extraordinaire

Review for Me, Mum and Dusty Springfield 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest at Assemby Hall, Mound Place, Edinburgh....3.25pm 6th to 30th August, 2009

Stephanie Ridings sits fully composed in a chair with a table beside her. She is applying eye make up and seems to have been doing so for many an hour. The look is of course the Dusty Springfield look. The heavy black liner and dark brown greenish eye shadow look to get this right the applications are repeated and take longer than cooking a three course meal. In between newly applied brush strokes and carefully engineered fine thin black eye pencil lines she talks of her mother. Her mother is a Dusty Springfiled look a like and her daughter who is one woman played by Stephanie Riggs is the illegitimate child of the Dusty Look alike. Her mother has a friend called Tom Jones not the real singing Tom Jones but a chancer alcoholic Tom Jones who sleeps with the mother and seems to make her unhappy as the daughter talks of very uncomfortable breakfasts with him which include no food on his part as he stands there swaying with beer in hand quizzing her about her school uniform. Dusty's daughter is angry and unhappy and the hour play is quite brilliant. You get such a good insight into the plight of being the daughter of a mother who so wanted to be someone and only managed to look like someone well that someone was luckily Dusty Springfield thats  not a bad person to look like it could have been much worse. However she didnt quite look enough like her to come first in the look alike competition. She lost out and came second. This plight took its toll on the Dusty look alike and alcohol controlled her life and as it seems her daughters too who is now on stage drinking vodka and applying make up and preparing to sing a Dusty song at her mothers funeral. Actually Stephanie herself who plays the daughter does a pretty good job of looking like Dusty herself and when she sings the song is fantastic and ends the fully energized, wonderfully acted show.'...

Pyjama Men: The Last Stand To Reason, on at Assemby 
 7.25pm  6th to 30th August, 2009
'I went to see Pajama Men on Friday 21st August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The house was totally packed, unfortunately I arrived three minutes late, I slipped in quietly and two eyes on the stage transfixed me. The actors ushered me with their beedy eyes to the nearly only available seat at the end of the front row. Once I was seated they smiled and got on with their pyjama conversations. They both sit in two seats. Two men from America. New York. Their jokes are about being gay and silly and energetic however it is never not for one minute annoying humour that one would normally cringe at. Its amazing and hysterical as one man eyes the other up and he screams back oh my god you are getting me so pregnant. The jokes are so original and totally first hand, never heard before to my delight. Then two unfortunate members of the audience leave for what ever reason and as they try and slip out of the side door they do not get the same friendly reception I got in being a touch late as they quietly manouever through the crowded theatre hoping to go unnoticed the gays scream whats wrong is this too gay for you both. And one of them goes to the door where the early leavers left through and shouts after them "well you werent very funny yourself". What a delightful hour I have had watching these two men who mime as brilliantly as they act as they make the audience scream with laughter nearly to pant wetting hysteria.....five  plus Star reveiw .'....
