Fringe World Review: The Trepidation of the Tower Traipsing Troglodytes Pelican11 February 2016 Creators Katie-Rose Spence and Hannah Pascoe have devised a wordless show about human connection, using memes and YouTube clips, pictures of Jeff Goldblum, cardboard cut-outs, and most importantly, their own elastic bodies to tell their quirky little narrative.
