Our Martin in the Background
Our Martin in the Background
England, 1945. The lives of two strangers are changed forever by a chance meeting at a railway station. But this isn’t Brief Encounter…
We’re all extras in the lives of others, but the stars of our own. What happens when you pan the camera away from the leading players? Fresh from a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, Mark Kydd’s solo show turns the spotlight onto a supporting artist with his own surprising tale of first, forbidden love.
Our Martin in the Background: the queer love story Noël Coward didn’t write.
‘a compelling story, cleverly framed’ (AllEdinburghTheatre.com)
‘all the class, comedy and an undercurrent of melancholy of an Alan Bennett Talking Head’ (Scotsman)
