I am currently taking part in the new horror comedy of "The Curse of Elizabeth Faulkner" which is up in Edinburgh for the entire month of August. When first offered the role of costume designer and prop collector, I was over the moon as I have been given the opportunity to be a part of one of the most phenomenal festivals in the creative world.
Arriving into this bubble of awesomeness, I discovered that you can talk to anyone on the street here and have something in common. With thousands of actors, performers, directors, technicians and designers all around you, the excitement of the bringing together of the love of art and performance would make even Big G look down and see a huge amount of light and energy escaping the city of Edinburgh, forcing its way into the sky and saying "Look at me!!!"
With such an incredible amount of shows to choose from, it is physically impossible to see them all, however, I will see as much as I can (as long as it is free.... I am a poor student after all) and let my mind be opened to the wonders of theatre. And most of all, I will make friends and have the most amazing time I possibly can.
If ANYONE in the world of the arts should do anything? Come up to the Fringe, enjoy the energetic atmosphere and come and watch our tale of comedy and horror set in a very unnerving (and I swear haunted....) venue. Laugh and enjoy the silliness and fun that theatre has to offer. May The Curse continue....
