Our next show is quite short but hopefully it’s none the worse for that. It’s the King’s Players’ production of The Tinder Tales at Mint Studio @ Greenside @ Infirmary Street at 17:20 on Friday 25th. Here’s the blurb: “A narcissistic toothbrusher. A guy who wants to be his dog. A girl still attached at the umbilical cord to her mother. Who is the Tinder match behind your screen? What would you do if it was you? Based on real life interviews about online hook-up misadventures, The Tinder Tales explores the highs and lows of the contemporary dating scene. We invite you to join us on an (optionally) interactive series of fly-on-the-wall dates where we explore the awkwardness, hilarity and horror that anonymity seems to breed.”

I’ve absolutely no experience of dating apps so I’m expecting entertainment and education in equal measure! I’ve read a review that looks very promising, although I’m wondering if it might feel a little static. Check back around 6.15 pm to see what we thought. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

A very intriguing little play, with individual stories of Tinder success and failure (mainly failure, tbh) delivered smartly by a talented troupe of young actors. I liked the fact that some accounts wrong-footed the audience when you realise the sex of the actor isn’t always the sex of the story teller. Recommended!
