Last week was a brilliant week re-rehearsing with our wonderful director John Wright, making The Fragility of X really alive again. It was so so busy though, rehearsing and finishing off all the preparations for our first Edinburgh festival trip and working out how to tech a really quite technical show in a new space in 4 hours....:-)
We arrived in Edinburgh on Tuesday evening (I think! it's hard to keep track of the days here) and on wednesday we had our tech at the Underbelly from 11pm - 3 am. The technicians had been working since 7am that morning, so under the circumstances, they were brilliant. Our first show was at 4.10pm on Thursday 5th August, and went surprisingly well, we were half full and very happy with the response. Afterwards we were invited to the List party though we had to leave in time to get back to the Underbelly for me to appear as the special guest in the Maydays impro show "Guest Who?" which was great fun. We are really enjoying being in Edinburgh so far but just beginning to realize that it really is going to be quite a lot of hard work to make the most of it, (as well as a lot of fun).
