Join Pete Searles on the first leg of HEY GRINGO! his internationally acclaimed Trilogy.
From the moment he lands in Lima (minus his luggage), Pete takes us on a rollercoaster ride across the Andes, up unknown tributaries of the Amazon, through crumbling cities, numerous bars and into the depths of the most brutal prison in the world. An unfolding catalogue of close scrapes and surprise encounters: Drug-smugglers, Dutch airline hostesses, Carmelite monks. Maoist guerrillas, Amazonian Indians and a French Shaman – no tot mention crocodiles, jaguars and giant shit-eating centipedes.
“An eminently likeable, extremely charismatic and highly skilled practitioner. Escapade after episode evinces a perfect progression from set-up, through a build involving superbly executed accents and physical theatre, to the final unfailing pay-off. Searles is wholly excellent company.” – WHAT’S ON
“Arguably one of the most down-to earth performances Bermuda audiences have seen to date. Hey Gringo! Through Peru is bare-bones theatre at its best. Festival organisers are to be applauded for attracting such an ‘out-of-the-box’ performer.” – BERMUDA SUN
