Questions answered by Alex Grech.
Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars
Cast & crew out on the streets all day, every day, meeting, greeting, and enticing EFF goers to come enjoy some midday absurdity. We will also be participating in as many open mics and sketch comedy shows as we can. Any opportunity to share the joy.
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
A Penicillin. If laughter is the best medicine, what could be better than old school spirits and grandma’s favorite countertop remedy of ginger, lemon, and honey? Like a Penicillin, Awaiting Evaluation is built on timeless ideas, shaken well with vibrant new flavours.
Q3: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?
Before I step on stage for any performance, I take a knee in the wings, listen to the sounds of the theatre, the audience, the stage manager whisper yelling at me to get on stage, take a deep breath, and go.
Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
Funnily enough, when my old school Italian mum read the first draft, her response was, “It’s a little dark, isn’t it?” Two drafts and many hours later, upon reading the version we’ll be bringing to Edinburgh, I was deeply relieved to find her laughing at every other page.
