Bane 1, 2 and 3

Jump to reviews or comments

Bane 3 makes it's debut Edinburgh appearance alongside smash hits Bane and Bane 2. Hired hand Bruce Bane steps out in Joe Bone's trilogy of high-octane one-man film noir parodies and this time he's shooting first and asking questions later. Creaking under the weight of awards and critical acclaim these are three shows not to miss.
