Questions answered by Eleanor Zeal.
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
Probably making the cat wear a bonnet and pretend to be a middle-aged Jane Eyre devotee with an opinion.
Q2: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?
Several of them; including big age gap relationship, insensitive references to mental health issues, controlling partners and learning differences, though to be fair, we do try and discuss these things as we go along, as in it was different when Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre.
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?
Raided the pension fund and robbed my children of their inheritance.
Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
Currently my parents are still in their urns as both left conflicting instructions re where they wanted to be buried: Mum wanted to be buried far away from Dad and Dad wanted to be buried next to Mum so I’m stuck. I imagine their reactions would be minimal.
