Episode 52: Mashing it with Freddie Hayes The Everything Theatre Interviews

    • Performing Arts

Admit it, we've all done it, laid in bed in the middle of the night and thought to ourselves, what we really need is a potato based retelling of Faustus? What do you mean, you've never thought that? You must be on your own then.

So imagine our absolute joy when we came across Freddie Hayes's Potatohead at this year's EdFringe Festival. Because yes, this is what we'e been calling out for, this is Faustus, told by potatoes, with the help of other potato based foods. And as Freddie is now taking the show on a little tour of the country, we couldn't resist asking her along for a chat.

Find out just how she got the inspiration to dress up as a potato for her show, hear about her love of puppets and why she could be found crying in her potato suit one evening at Edinburgh! 

You can find out more about the show and its upcoming dates on our website here.
