FRINGE REVIEW: The War on Food Pelican4 March 2016 I don’t know about you, but whenever I buy groceries I constantly worry about the possibility of a dystopian future where a single company has control over all of our fruit and vegetables.

Fringe World Review: Sleeping Beauty Pelican21 February 2016 These two protagonists are “guests” of a sleep clinic, wearing uniformed striped pajamas and consuming questionable drugs.

Fringe World Interview: Words with ‘Theatre Bang Bang’ Pelican21 February 2016 “In our apartment in New York, I had a life-size, ‘Dr Who.’ cardboard cut-out of Captain Jack Harkness,” Pascoe said, smiling, “and he would scare the sh*t out of everyone walking through the apartment. It didn’t matter how long he’d been there, he’d still get you every time.” This is what inspired their own cut-outs for the set. Uncategorised0 Comments28 views
