#AnUnexpectedHiccup
Caught in a storm and looking for help, Murdo knocks on the door of a dark, old house. The family inside seems to be expecting him. A bizarre quintet of siblings is waiting for their father to die and Murdo is somehow involved…
Brilliantly threading the fine line between surreal and sinister, An Unexpected Hiccup is a chilling tale of comic misunderstandings and dangerous eccentricities presented by Lung Ha Theatre Company in collaboration with Plutôt la Vie.
Full of wit, wisdom, and bold, boundary-busting theatrical energy.
Joyce Mcmillan, The Scotsman (2021 PRODUCTION)
The show was originally created and performed under strict COVID procedures during the global pandemic. The 2024 Fringe run was also the inaugural production of the Lung Ha Touring Company which will provide further opportunities for performers to create and tour new and existing work, with bespoke and specialist actor training.

This is a boisterous, ebullient, tightly choreographed production… Keep your fingers crossed that they tour to a spooky house near you one day soon.
★★★★ THE WEE REVIEW
There are moments of pure theatrical magnetism… You just want to hug yourself with joy, such is the ingenuity and creativity on display… As enjoyable as anything you are likely to see at the Fringe.
