Big Fish the Musical

17th – 19th January, 7:30pm

Big Fish. Brian Cox Studio, Scottish Youth Theatre, 105 Brunswick St, Glasgow G1 1TF

Epilogue Theatre proudly presents Big Fish the musical in aid of the Village Storytelling Centre

An epic tale about a farmer’s son from Alabama who wanted to see the world: Epilogue Theatre are delighted to present Big Fish the musical!

Based on Daniel Wallace’s 1988 book and the film directed by Tim Burton, this tale of epic proportions follows father and son Edward Bloom [Peter Robson] and Will Bloom [Michael Pellman] as Will cuts through his father’s tall tales to discover the person underneath. Family relationships, eccentric characters and life-changing secrets are explored to create a simultaneously heart-warming and heart-wrenching story that is larger than life.

About Epilogue Theatre

Epilogue Theatre was founded in Spring 2017 by a small board of five friends who wanted to create great theatre and support local charities. Their debut production of Dani Girl, a four-cast musical about cancer, opened in November 2017 to excellent reviews, leaving audiences emotional and ready for more. All profits from Dani Girl went to Logan’s Fund, a Scottish cancer charity.
The Summer 2018 production was Godspell, which involved a larger cast, a couple of new board members, and a new charity to support. Godspell was produced in aid of Simon Community,  and all profits from the energetic and heartwarming show helped them combat the effects of homelessness across the country.

Epilogue’s third show is Big Fish, which will be performed in January 2019. This show is in aid of The Village Storytelling Centre in Pollock, and Epilogue have enjoyed working closely with them over the past couple of months.

As well as their performances, Epilogue Theatre raise money for their chosen charities via fundraisincabarets, bag packing, and online fundraising. As Epilogue are registered with OSCR (SC048266), they raise money all year round, and continue supporting the local community through the arts and more.
