| | |  Shortened Potter and condensed Dickens
Performing at the Edinburgh Fringe, Dan Clarkson and Jeff Turner have shortened the seven Harry Potter books into a "parody" of J.K. Rowling's series.
After writing in the same Edinburgh cafe where the world-famous Potter author wrote a good deal of her Potter stories, the actors play to packed houses at their shows.
Turner is quoted saying: Quote:
Originally Posted by Jeff Turner "There is always a front row seat reserved for her [JK Rowling] at every show. I would just love it if she came along, but I must say I would be terrified if I suddenly saw her sitting there.
It's a tongue-in-cheek homage" While Clarkson had this to say: Quote:
Originally Posted by Dan Clarkson "Potter is the Beatlemania of books. Like The Beatles, I don't think we will ever see it again. I've never known a book which has had 5,000 people lining up at midnight to buy it.
"It would be nice to say we were taking Potter to the masses, but the masses got there first. Still, if we can make just one extra person read the book, then hooray." The writer/actors have also condensed some of Charles Dickens' works.
