    Week 1! A Viking, a Dominatrix, and a ‘Perfect’ Couple

    …Walk into a bar? Well, anything can happen, it’s the Buxton Festival Fringe! The flyers are multiplying, the hours are zooming past, and if you're wondering where to begin, we've got you. We're taking a whistle-stop tour through week one of Buxton Fringe. We go behind the scenes with the people who make it all happen, meet performers bringing everything from dark comedy to dominatrix drama, discover why tap dancing is as much about music as movement, and learn that the Norse Gods aren't quite how Marvel would have you believe. Along the way, we chat to award-winning performers, celebrate the wonderfully unusual spaces that become Fringe venues each July, and slow down for a full conversation with Jon and Katie Rand, the creative duo behind How To Be The Perfect Couple. 🎙️ We'd love to hear from you, too.

    Off Script: Can You Make Theatre With Your Partner?

    Can you write, rehearse and perform a play with your partner... and still be speaking by the end of it? In this bonus episode, we spend a little longer with Jon and Katie Rand, the writing and acting team behind How To Be The Perfect Couple. We talk about ideas that percolate for decades, how to keep a play tense and claustrophobic, marriage psychologist lingo, and hear the entire play's narrative in one super-speed sound. If you enjoyed the conversation in this week's main episode, here's the full chat, just as it happened.
