A Fringe Quickie (#246) with ‘Soaked’

Questions answered by Stephanie Bradshaw.

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

Emma Rydal who wrote and stars in Soaked, played THE Stella Moorhouse in the iconic East is East. We plan on dropping that at every available opportunity. It’s happening right now.

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

Let’s just say it went in for one glass of wine, but it’s ordered a “Shall we just get a bottle? We should just get a bottle…it’s cheaper to get a bottle!”

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

Our show is the last one standing. It’s hosting the afters, afters. It’s chasing the night. It’s your toxic ‘just stay for one more!!’ pal. It’s bringing out Twister and shots just as the last few people are trying to leave…

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

With any luck they’ll have spent the whole evening reflecting on their own drinking habits and therefore be in ship shape the next morning, ready to leave a glowing review of this inspiring show! AND remembering Emma Rydal played THE Stella Moorhouse in the iconic East is East!
