A Fringe Quickie (#430) with ‘My Screaming Pomegranates’

Questions answered by My Screaming Pomegranates.

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

Cosplay Hades and roam Edinburgh Fringe streets handing out pomegranates to passersby. If you’d rather not watch the poor Underworld king stuck roadside peddling fruit, click our ticket link: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/my-screaming-pomegranates. I am desperate.

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

Bloody Zeus – our signature pomegranate special.

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

Our show is the unhinged, furious backyard party guest spilling Olympus’ buried ugly secrets no one dares voice. We pull the crowd into wild, freeing circle dances to craft our own self-made moon.

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

They’ll wake up haunted by screaming pomegranates and Olympus’ unspoken patriarchal cruelty. They’ll replay Persephone’s raw grief over Minthe and her bitter rift with cold, violent Artemis, still feeling the cathartic rush of our collective moon-making dance.
