SWH! Edinburgh Fringe Preview Podcasts: The Tale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde, A Play on Words, 3 Times I Killed...
Updated: Jul 25
The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast is the fourth and final of our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Previews, where Ali talks to a few of the artists who will be appearing at the festival this year.
First of all, writer and performer Andy Dickinson spoke about his Fringe show The Tale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde (Told by a Mad Hatter from Stockport), to give it the full title. "Deacon Brodie isn't that well known outside of Edinburgh. Yet he inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Jekyll and Hyde. By day, in the 18th century, he was a respectable cabinetmaker. By night, a masked burglar in Edinburgh's Old Town".
Then actor and writer Brian Dykstra tells us all about A Play On Words, which The New York Times described as 'Who's On First? meets Waiting for Godot'. "Rusty and Max have been friends for most of their lives and they've been arguing almost the entire time. Today, they're scheming up something big."
Finally, New York attorney Andrea Coleman details her Fringe show 3 Times I Killed. "Blending courtroom drama and humour, this show celebrates the joy and absurdity of being alive. At its heart, the play asks what happens when you push your fear to the side and let yourself be a "killer".
These podcasts are always a joy to record and get just a taste of what's happening in Edinburgh this August, and we hope they get you in the mood for this year's Fringe.
