THE TANNER

This show is definitely not Snowflake Theatre. For the squeamish or thin-skinned, I recommend seeing this before a meal, not after. On a side note, if the (watered down) Braveheart film script were completely accurate from beginning to end, the gore alone would have eliminated any possibility for studio funding. Once you see this show, you'll understand why. Although the sheer brutality of these 13th Century battles is truly shocking, this show is important and necessary to understand Scottish (and English) history. Fortunately, performer Alex McSherry has the grit and chops to deliver a powerful story.... full review

A story that is both old and new about regular people taking up arms against an oppressor. Writing and acting that keep you interested. Wonderful stories. One can easily imagine that this man has been telling <a href="https://food-le.com">foodle</a> these stories in different ways for more than 700 years.... full review

Minimalist to perfection. A Masterfully told story of the fight against Scottish Oppression with incredible accuracy. Would kill to see it again. From the moment it began I became increasingly more enchanted with the story being told. Forgetting entirely the world outside and existing only in the world he presented to me. ... full review

Highly recommend. Brutal, gritty. This is not a spit polish history lesson, it is raw, nasty storytelling in the best way. ... full review

Alex McSherry is a powerhouse who brings history brilliantly to life in The Tanner. This show is a must-see for fans of William Wallace, Scottish history, or compelling theatre. As he weaves his tale, we learn about the ancient art of tanning and the brutal machinations of medieval combat through the eyes of a 13th century peasant.... full review

I WOULD WATCH THIS OVER BRAVEHEART ANY DAY. Total powerhouse performance and excellent story teller. I was with him from beginning to end. Y'all have to go and watch this goddamned show!... full review
