A Fistful of Sand
Comedy trio Peepolykus upend classic fiction: Richard Wilson stars as a shipwrecked Robinson Crusoe. From 2015.
Richard Wilson plays Robinson Crusoe in an irreverent re-boot of Daniel Defoe's classic.
After cheating their captain of the ship's treasure, a couple of sailors go into hiding on a deserted island. Their plans to lay low are rumbled when they're discovered by a long-forgotten castaway and his Spanish manservant.
The comedy troupe Peepolykus assume the roles of minor characters in great works of fiction and derail the plot of the book through their hapless buffoonery.
Written by John Nicholson, Richard Katz and Javier Marzan
