Seven Goslings » Fifth And Final Day At The Fringe

My last day here at the Fringe was well spent catching up on some more shows and performances. I had a whopping five planned, but only managed to catch four with one of them not being the originally planned.
I also spent some time on the Mile with the guys from The Black Tie Band as I keep running into them. I handed out a few fliers before moving on.

Dogfight at Underbelly, Cowgate. I kept seeing them handing out fliers on the Mile, and they had these wonderfully 50′ies era clothing on. So a quick viewing was in order. The show itself was about small town conflicts and was quite fast pasted with short scenes introduced by a headline from a recording of a small child. Not the best show I’ve seen, but by far not the worst.

Johanna at The Jazz Bar. This show which was originally a radio play was fantastic! The story was about a grand piano and its owners and adventures through the years. A really gripping story with its fair share of humorous delights in the form of the pianos thoughts. This show, if any, deserves a viewing because of its great story, good acting and lovely piano tunes.

A Beginners Guide To Fringe Greatness at Sweet City. This was a story about two guys writing a play for the Fringe. You get introduced to a lot of the genres available at the Fringe as seen though the minds of two adolescence wannabe play-writers. Their ideas went from Muppets, to “art”-theatre, to Sex-shows with girls in stockings, to Muppets to Joe Average shows to the Muppets. All in all a very fairly good show if you don’t mind it taking the piss on the whole concept.

Playing Life at Sweet ECA. This show about a jazz-singer and her troubles was fairly good. It was almost a one-woman-show with only the pianist assisting her, and he really didn’t have that many lines. All other characters were imitated by pieces of clothing which worked better than you should assume. Worth a showing if you have nothing to do a the time - but don’t cancel your plans to make time to see it.

All there is left now is for me to sleep, get up, pack up, head to the airport and then fly home. But this was a great week. Don’t know when I’ll have time to go though all the pictures (the amount of pictures is in the 250-300 range). But keep a keen eye on my Flickr page and they will appear sooner or later..
