For our first show of our first full day at the Fringe, we’re off to see a one-woman play that I know will be beautifully done, Hint of Lime’s production of Are There More of You, at Assembly Hall (Baillie Room) at 11:10 on Sunday 19th. This is how the blurb describes it: “Alison Skilbeck tells the linked tales of four women with only a postcode in common. Painful, scary, hilarious, and heart-warming, the stories chart each wildly different character’s search for love and happiness. ‘Brilliantly observed… a wonderful evening’ (Alan Ayckbourn). ‘Go see how character comedy acting is done’ (Miranda Hart). Skilbeck returns to Assembly following her five-star shows: Mrs Roosevelt Flies to London, 2016, and The Power behind The Crone, 2017. Television includes Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, The Beiderbecke Affair, Soldier Soldier, Midsomer Murders, Call the Midwife. ***** (ThreeWeeks). ***** (Broadwaybaby.com).”

We saw Alison Skilbeck last year in The Power Behind the Crone and it was a true tour-de-force. Intelligent, charming and very funny and on the strength of that I’m looking forward to seeing Ms Skilbeck do something else. Check back around 12:45pm to see what we thought. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

Four beautifully written and performed and interlocking monologues full of humour and sadness. Alison Skilbeck really knows how to create a believable character, with a full backstory. Highly recommended!
