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. ...

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....

A NoHo Arts theatre review of “The Tanner,” written and performed by Alex McSherry, and produced by Fringe Management and Samantha de Gyarfas at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Alex McSherry is no stranger to Fringe. Although this is his first Hollywood Fringe Festival, he has more than 30 Edinburgh Fringe shows under his belt, as well as 40 years in the business of acting, writing and directing.
