EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2014 THE VOODOO ROOMS (PBH’S FREE FRINGE), 2:40PM, 2ND – 24TH AUGUST (NOT 11TH OR 18TH AUGUST)

What do you get if you cross Scooby Doo with The X-Files and Starter For 10? That vivid image may begin to prepare you for the smörgåsboard that is The Probleming. Horror comedies are nothing new. From the days of Abbot and Costello Meets Frankenstein to the Scary Movie parodies, laughter and frights have long been considered apt bed fellows.

A love story about faith, family and bacon butties - Underbelly, Cowgate from 31 July – 25 August at 2.50pm. Edinburgh Fringe 2014

Any self–respecting psychiatrist or playwright will tell you that memories are the building blocks of personalities and our sense of identity. Inspired by Incognito, Nick Payne’s most recent play to do with cognition, Sophia West and Kate Morrison-Wynne of Sophistikate Theatre Company have recently showcased  four brand new plays, under the umbrella title of Memory.
