Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 6
Monday 6th August 2018 Normally Monday mornings fill me with a vague sense of dread, knowing that I've got to battle the M60 ring road in Manchester twice a day for the next 5 days. However, this particular Monday got off to a brilliant start as we received the first reviews for Greyhounds! Like excited … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 6
Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 5
Sunday 5th August 2018 The day of Sunday the 5th of August was no ordinary day. Sunday the 5th of August was in fact a very special occasion: our lovely Tim's 30th birthday! Naturally much of the day was spent celebrating and compensating for the fact that we've made him ring in his 30th with … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 5
Reviews from the Home Front – Shit-Faced Shakespeare
Shit-Faced Shakespeare: Hamlet by Magnificent Bastard Productions Shit-Faced Shakespeare first came onto my radar 5 years ago, when I spent the summer at the Fringe performing with Paperfinch Theatre.

We would split up … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 4
Reviews from the Home Front – Cry God for Harry, England and St George!
Cry God for Harry, England and St George! by Mulberry Theatre Company Given the fact that Henry V plays such an important part in our show, team Greyhounds was excited to see that another production at the Fringe was using Shakespeare's play to create their own story. Rather than the 1940's home front, Mulberry Theatre … Continue reading Reviews from the Home Front – Cry God for Harry, England and St George!
Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 3
Friday 3rd August We arose at the civilised hour of nine and began, what is fast becoming, our morning routine. RuPaul was blaring from our USB speaker, Tim went running, and Jacob polished off four sets of two Weetabix, because it's only polite to finish the sleeve. When you're a hot vintage vixen, there's quite … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 3
Reviews from the Home Front – In Loyal Company
In Loyal Company by David William Bryan Despite the fact that we had been in Edinburgh for less than 24 hours, we were chomping at the bit to see what else the biggest Fringe festival in the world had to offer.

Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 1
Wednesday 1st August 2018 I woke up this morning at about half past nine and lay quite still for a moment, just letting it sink in - the day had finally arrived. D-Day. It was later than I’d hoped, but I’d been up until 2am the night before collecting gas mask boxes for flyering on … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 1
