7th May, 2009 - 10 Anecdotes About Fringe 2009 - #10

So. I am in the bogs at an Italian Restaurant. Quite a nice Italian Restaurant. I am doing a jobby. It is quite nice to get away from the children and the actors (often the two categories are indistinguishable - they both dribble a lot and demand lots of attention) so I am making the most of it. I am taking my time.

But my reverie is disturbed by noise coming through the wall from the ladies. At first I think that it is the telly, but then I realise that it is Lanarkshire's Leading Actress who is playing the lead in 21 Girlfriends. She is on her own. I presume she is - like me - be-cubicled. And she is loudly reciting her lines from the play. Loudly. In full accent.

I cannot get away from them. Not even here. I give up and go back to join the party.
