A Fringe Quickie (#386) with ‘Forgive Me’

Questions answered by Tamsin Shasha.

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

Take my pole onto the Royal Mile and get my almost 60 year old arse up it, pole dancing on the street.

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

An AuDHDacity Cocktail, because it’s an explosive, delicious, amusing and addictive mix of ingredients that guarantees to stimulate and provoke.

Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Indulge myself in some Aufguss in the Sauna Theatre at Summerhall wearing a VR headset to transport me to a neurodiverse utopia. Failing that the deepest of deep tissue massages followed by some carefully placed acupuncture to sooth my aching pole-wearied body!

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

A hyperactive smorgasbord of stunning imagery, fluid movement and authentic storytelling that plays on your heartstrings and celebrates your freaky demons.
