Only a few hours after arriving in Edinburgh, I found myself waist deep in a magnificent Fringe caper. Many thanks to @halftrick.bsky.social for inviting me to play with them. If you’re looking for something bold, different, ambitious and fun, go see THE FAUSTUS PROJECT, 21:05 at Underbelly Cowgate.
