A Fringe Quickie (#80) with ‘The Faustus Project’

Questions answered by Caden Scott.

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

Aside from literally selling our souls to the devil? (been there, done that, bought the horns) Let’s just say the line between aggressive flyering tactics and kidnapping is a very thin one, and we’re more than willing to cross it.

Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

All seven deadly ones, baby, and we tear through them all in about five minutes. We come after you with swords and knives. We steal your stuff and sell it to the highest bidder. We strip you bare and do anything and everything that you’ll let us. And you’ll thank us for it.

Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

Burnouts on the lawn. Shotgunning a crate of beer. Illicit fireworks, obtained out of season and improperly used. Releasing a plague of locusts through the window.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

You’ll find yourself in church, praying to whatever God you believe in for the salvation of your soul. But it’s far too late for that.
