The Edinburgh Fringe run of Stitched Up went very nicely, picking up large audiences after we realised the trick of sending James Bober out flyering as Sherlock Holmes to get some brand-recognition from last year.
We got some nice reviews:
Fest magazine called us broadly appealing though unashamedly intellectual, and gave us four stars.
Edinburgh Screenworks called us completely ridiculous, and gave us four stars.
The new Twitter-based reviewer FringeBiscuit, which publishes reviews the right size to read a lot of at once, gave us: Light and witty deconstruction of Frankenstein, with a carefully clever script. Guaranteed giggles. 4/5.
The Fringe site has changed its site so that audience reviews are now closed to most people - to submit one, you need to have bought a ticket through the Fringe website, which few people do because buying them directly from the venue is more convenient for all sorts of reasons and gives a better deal to the performers. The Fringe Office have changed this ostensibly to stop performers writing their own reviews, but that sucks. It's invariably obvious when that's happening, and if other shows don't want to play fair, so what? Reading audience feedback is one of the most enjoyable rewards of putting on a show, and there's now almost none to read. We had some kind Twitter and blog mentions though.
After the last performance, one of the cast managed to totally steal the limelight by proposing to his girlfriend on stage.
I'm in negotiation with some publishers about the script and rights handling.
