Fringe Quartet
£10.00 – £20.00
Actresses Sooz, Mags and Teresa meet at an audition, where none of them gets the part; a familiar tale for them all. Frustrated with their lot, they decide to put on a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
In a series of short, mainly comic scenes, we see how they make ends meet, progress with their acting, and finally persuade would-be playwright Penny to write them a play, one 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, which always seems to get in the way of things.
A 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
