Skirt - Edinburgh Fringe 2018
Skirt by Claire Wood (http://cmfwood.blogspot.com/) was this year’s Fringe performance. I haven’t posted anything about it because I am not a very good blogger and I don’t believe anyone reads this anyway!
What a lovely time was had by all. The play really grew on me during rehearsals - I suppose it’s hard to judge when you read something through but there are bits I felt were slightly clumsy or too wordy (what do I expect from a first ever performance from an unpublished playwright?). Once it was brought to life by the actors though, the good bits really started to shine through. It’s a nice wee play, showing the reality of life for women of all ages - and it would be good if she took it further and see if she could get it published.
More than the play was the cast, I had a great time with them all and it was lovely to have some really gregarious kids around. Makes me wish I had some of my own.
Here’s a couple of reviews:
