Questions answered by Sam Beeson.
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
We started a Grindr for Sam and planned all 1st dates for opening night.
Q2: 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?
Started an underground fight club, just for theatre kids. If anything, we lost money.
Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?
As the Playwright, I’ll rewrite all the monologues to make them impossibly hard and have the cast memorize them on the day. Really winds me down after a tough rehearsal.
Q4: 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?
We pass a boxing glove around and hit each other as hard as we physically can. Then we say ‘I got your back ‘.
