A Fringe Quickie (#513) with ‘Soft Spot’

Questions answered by Stina Otterström and Arttu Lahtinen.

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’ll leave a trail of wine glass shards leading to the venue. Metaphorically. The Fringe insurance team asked us to stress that.

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

A martini, served in a wine glass, just to keep everyone on the edge of their seat.

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

They’d spend dinner asking when the wine glasses are going to get proper jobs and whether we’ve considered doing something “less breakable”

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

Every time they pick up a wine glass they’ll hesitate for just a second… and suddenly feel vastly underqualified
