Among the many rare species of show flourishing on this year's fringe, there can be few stranger than Theatrum Botanicum's Plant Hunter, a full-blown hallucinogenic spectacle running riot among the herbaceous borders of the city's botanical gardens. Conceived and directed by Toby Gough, the show describes the life of the botanist Joseph Rock, mapping his biography on to the geography of the park and leading the audience on an allegorical journey through dense thickets of Oxidental Cosmology, Buddhist mythology and meditations on the Chinese oppression of Tibet.
