Fringe Day 8

That was kind of disgusting out there yesterday. One minute in the air, and ew, sticky! Blech. At one point we took refuge in a pub that turned out to have been around for 150 years. There was a history lesson on the back of the menu.

Tales From Another England

This is the kind of one-man show that I like - not just stand-up, not just telling stories, but something with structure, where things brought up early that seemed to have no point turn up again later in the show. And Sage-Passant's characters, especially Dave, were awesome. Definitely worth making three attempts to see it.

The Demimonde

The story of two sisters who move to Dawson City during the gold rush, intending to escape their past and become proper actresses. It was pretty good, although a little long, and the acting varied wildly in quality. But overall it was fun - the music was great, and they made good use of the venue (a room in a pub), including the bar itself in the staging.

And I also saw In Trousers again with vestra, who was in town for the day.

Meanwhile, it's both pouring rain and sticky out there, so some of the fringing plans have been scrapped. I am going to attempt to meet up with girldetective later tonight for one last show, though.
