Questions answered by Michael Anderson.
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
Making thousands of “zines”: 8-page mini-booklets cut and folded like Origami from single sheets of paper. I’ll disseminate them like dandelion seeds at lamppost wraps to anyone interested in the tragedy of alternative history and the comedy of chaos theory. And who isn’t?
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
The bar would be in Amsterdam, where my show would order hallucinatory cannabis chased by shots of tequila, to induce an out-of-body William Blake trance-state that also supports Latino immigrants in the US. Straight tequila, no ICE.
Q3: The Fringe is horribly expensive. How are you financing this run? Did you remortgage your house, sell your granny, or start an illicit side hustle?
Purging myself of ill-gotten gains. I’m a union lawyer, guilty over the big money I make representing lower-paid hotel maids and auto workers. Spending ridiculous amounts on the Fringe drives me back down into the proletariat, to atone for my bourgeois sins.
Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
They’ll be all shook up. They’ll wonder which branch of the Multiverse they are waking up in, looping back in time, returning to sender. Their suspicious minds will be lonesome tonight, not knowing why they now understand quantum physics, but realizing that’s all right, mama.
