Adler & Gibb

SHOOT THE WOUNDED. SAVE YOURSELVES.

First staged at the Royal Court in 2014, this new touring production of Adler & Gibb comes to the Unicorn direct from the Edinburgh Fringe.

In preparation for a film role an actress seizes the opportunity to dig up the truth in search of authenticity. Her subject is Janet Adler, a celebrated artist who rejected the art world in favour of making work solely for her lover Margaret Gibb. Adler & Gibb tells the story of a raid – on a house, a life, an identity, a reality and a legacy.

From the real to unreal, from fake to true and from theatre to film, the play takes Tim Crouch’s (I, Malvolio; An Oak Tree; Jeramee, Hartleby and Oooglemore) fascination with form and marries it to a compelling story of misappropriation and death.
