A Fringe Quickie (#294) with ‘Safety’

Questions answered by Michael Reid.

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

Offering a free therapy session with every ticket. Time consuming, but heavily in demand.

Q2: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Inner-child work, free association and the occasional foray into dream analysis.

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

With an Oedipal horror.

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

Like they ended up in bed with their psychotherapist.
