This is a world where there are no bars, no theatres, no cinemas, where you can't show a man kissing his mother goodbye on tv, where you join a hotel sports club so you can wear shorts on the beach without being sexually harassed, where a Bangladeshi worker queues for half an hour at the end of the month to pay $10 to send home the $10 he's managed to save, where your boss keeps your passport, where it's ok to rape the maid. This is a comedy about this world.

Directed by John Rackham.
With Rob Wainwright and John Rackham

Rogues' Yarn came to the Fringe first in 2001 with an adaptation of Heart of Darkness, since then they've done sketch comedy and a play about a wolf who gets bitten by a werewolf and turns into a human. This is their fifth show at the fringe.

Fringe audience reviews have described Rogues' Yarn as 'exceptional', 'mature and energetic', 'incredibly talented', 'sketch artists for sketch artists', 'imaginative, rule-breaking, challenging' - of course, I've picked out the best bits. (In 2001 the Bay Area Guardian's art critic criticised them for using an apostrophe in their name and accused them of inventing the Joseph Conrad society - http://www.josephconradsociety.org/)

John Rackham is an actor/writer/director.

His first feature as a director, indie horror 'Bloodmyth' (www.bloodmyth.com) will be completed this year and already has interest from distributors.

Indie martial arts thriller 'Left For Dead' (www.left4dead.co.uk), in which he plays an American gangster, last year reached number nine in a US dvd sales chart. This year he plays the bad guy in indie Britflick 'fIXers'(www.fixersthemovie.co.uk).

'Exiles' is the story of his six months teaching English to Saudi high school dropouts.
