Anna Hadley reviews Have I Told You I’m Writing a Play About My Vagina? At Edinburgh Fringe. I like to see at least one play which makes box-office attendants at the Fringe blush when they’re retrieving my ticket. Cue: ‘Have I Told You I’m Writing a Play About […]
Isobel Stuart reviews 4 BROWN GIRLS WHO WRITE at the Edinburgh Fringe. A poetic and musical collaboration of bold new writing, these girls have created a must-see show exploding with raw talent. Exploring race, gender, sexuality, love, language and faith, these girls and their guests had the […]
