Fringe theatre, to me, is all about the small venue with few props and a subject that is rarely covered. At @edfringe we saw this at its best with @borchertalife and Chaika: First woman in space by @hello_acs both were excellent. #edfringe #edfringe2019

@PURPLEDEMUN @edfringe @hello_acs Denise, thank you so much! It was lovely to have you. Hope we'll be seeing you again soon <3

@borchertalife Congratulations on a detailed, interesting show on Wednesday. Thank you for introducing me to Borchert's work. The staging was very clever, especially the flip-chart drawings. The depiction of the bombed Dresden was really effective & moving.

[Borchert: A Life @borchertalife]

@hjk27uk Helen, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you on Wednesday. Hope we will see you again for a future production! <3

@katie_wilmore @edfringe How about starting your day with a forty-minute show about a lesser-known German playwright? Feat: shot-off fingers, questionable Hitler impressions, failing livers and a grand total of FOUR water pistols 🔫🔫🔫🔫 https://t.co/GowIxNq5bX
