Questions answered by Sophie Methuen – Turner.
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 are going for it.We’ve linked up with charities, persuaded radio shows to talk to us,advertised in newspapers,begging for reviews, we will be in costume accosting random members of the public begging them to see our show. I wouldn’t put it past us to bribe audience members!
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?
we hammered on venues doors, said we have protected characteristics and are skint but have a show, can you help. Having negotiated a deal,I run a murder mystery company which sponsored the event,Rhys is doing a blog-can he survive Ed fringe on £500?!
Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?
The Quiet Between is really tough. It’s a dark comedy about being a neurodivergent actor and it has strong links to suicidal thoughts. We are collaborating with SoBs Charity – they will be supporting both the actors and the audience.
Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
Well, my mum saw the show and didn’t recognise any of it was about me. ( it’s semi autobiographical.) So I’d say my parents would not recognise me, and would be horrified.
