THE MYTH, THE LEGEND AND THE LEGACY OF BOND

Cyril Blake’s sell-out hit from the Edinburgh Fringe explores the myth, legend and legacy of James Bond – and what it all means to guys trying to find their way through life and love. Stephen has always wanted to be James Bond. He’s got a tux, a fancy watch and he shakes everything he drinks. But is this a good idea? Bond is a misogynist dinosaur, right? 

Journey through 60 years of Bond and 30 years of Stephen as we find out if he can fulfil his father’s idea of masculinity without becoming toxic.

This sellout hit is directed by nine-time nominee and two-time OFFIE winner, Matthew Parker and stars Cyril Blake as ‘Stephen’. 

The show premiered at Adelaide Fringe Festival in February 2025, ahead of a multi-date UK Tour in Summer 2025 including Theatre Royal Bath, Chelmsford, Hull Truck, Corn Exchange Newbury, Hope Mill Manchester, Worthing Pavillion Theatre, The New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich, Wilton’s Music Hall London and Assembly George Square as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
