Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is the company’s first time to Edinburgh. But with the support of Arts Council England and Red Rose Chain Theatre Company we had R&D and a mini tour of the show before shortening it for the fringe. During development we worked with Stephen Harper (Told by An Idiot), Helen Baggett (Gecko) and Annie Sertich (Groundlings Main Company). We’re very excited to be here and hope to come back next year with a new show!

Tell us about your show.

Not: Lady’s Chatterley’s Lover is a Mel Brooks style parody of the D.H. Lawrence novel. We’ve kept it sexy, made it funny and added a few twists along the way. Lawrence Russell wrote it and the company (Happy Idiot) is producing it with the help of Associate Producer, Ami Stidolph.

The company came together following testing of the script at Scratch Night, ‘On The Night’ at The Arcola Theatre. We’ve since performed the full version of the show in Ipswich, London and Shoreham-by-Sea.

Following the fringe we’d love to tour the U.K. and even take it to The U.S.A or Australia if the opportunity is there!

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

We love Annie Sertich: How Not To Kill Yourself…, Austentatious, The Secret Life of Humans, The Jurassic Parks and The Prophetic Visions of Bethany Lewis.
