The Tale of the Time Travelling Tartan Tea Towel

Anything could happen (and probably will) in a magical realist comedy about a time travelling tea towel. You won't believe your ears.

"This was meant to be a story about Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 but seems to have turned into one about when the Dalai Lama told me to eff off."

Master storyteller and satirist, Nick Revell returns to 麻豆社 Radio 4 with a remarkably believable (no, really!) story about one man and his time traveling tea towel.

We find out how Bonnie Prince Charlie became a cruise ship entertainer and meet celebrities from the past, present and future as the story wends its way from The Fox and Gynaecologist (Islington's last remaining traditional boozer) around the world, through time - and back to the pub.

Hold on tight because it's a funny, fast-paced ride through Nick's imagination and out the other side with original music and sound design by contemporary composer, Paul Clark.
