Anna Hadley reviews Tense Vagina: An Actual Diagnosis at the Underbelly, Edinburgh A new-comer to Edinburgh Fringe, performance artist Sara Juli tries to keep up with the off brand comedy that the festival is known for. A show about motherhood and urinary incontinence, it had the potential to […]
Abigail Bryant reviews Blackcatfishmuskateer at Summerhall, Edinburgh 21st century romance is fruitful territory for science fiction and general reflection on modern society’s values.
