Actresses Sooz, Mags and Teresa meet at an audition, where none of them get the part; a familiar tale for them all. Frustrated with their lot, they make a pact to meet up if none of them are famous or working in 6 months’ time, with the aim of putting on a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
In a series of short and mainly comic scenes, we see how they make ends meet, progress with their acting, and finally persuade would-be playwright Penny to finish writing them a proper play, which demonstrates their real acting talent. However, Edinburgh isn’t their only focus, as these women have to deal with ex-husbands, rising debt, finding a venue, finding a job, getting noticed and real life getting in the way.
A full-length 2-act light comedy for 4 women, Fringe Quartet shows how focus, determination, support and a great sense of humour can bring out the best in us all, in unexpected ways
