The Last Resort and I, Lear

No DIY on Saturday as we were fully booked for Fringe events. The Last Resort was an unusual but full of charm play using one or two puppets but mainly actors with masks. The acting, production, music, everything was really well done creating a unique creepy and sometimes dark fairytale world. Personal highlight was the naked devil puppet.

Straight after was I, Lear - two thespian actor characters named Hugh (or Huge) and Chesty taking us through different types of writers' plays and generally mocking their style. Overall it was very funny but couldn't been funnier if I was more clued up with playwright stuff.

We actually had another set of tickets for Catchy! a musical about the plague but we couldn't really find the venue and couldn't be arsed either.

Sunday was a long slog at laying the laminate floor but returned to the Fringe with a ticket to The Haunted Moustache. Strange title and a local real story of David Bramwell inheriting his aunt's moustache explaining the history and trials along the way. Basically, he felt this moustache from a freakshow host from the 1900's was affecting his life joining cults, doing drugs etc. whilst finding out why he'd been given it. Very entertaining and he deserved the award given at the end by some Fringe lovie.
