My overall impression
I was standing on the corner waiting for my friend, planning to attend a show next door. The Director took the time to talk to me about this show so I changed my mind at the last minute. One of the exciting things for me about Fringe shows is when we as audience members get the opportunity to speak to participants about their show.
I would encourage any Fringe participants reading this to do the same, get outside your venues on to the pavement, sorry sidewalk, and start speaking to people.
Greg Abbott’s Writing has a real soft and tender touch to it in this piece. Afterwards I felt like I had just had a warm bath followed by some hot chocolate. It washed over me in a very pleasant way. He inhabits a range of different characters with confidence and they are clearly defined, I could easily tell them apart. Marie Broderick’s Direction is unobtrusive and supportive. I wasn’t totally gripped by the narrative but really enjoyed the style of writing and performance. Glad I went.
