IDENTITIES ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a cool concept and a great way to spread awareness. I brought my mum along; a woman who has first hand experience with breast cancer. She loved it & so did I! A very true depiction & despite the subject, a great laugh. @CloseToHomeProd #edfringe

Replying to @ItsRainingBen
“Burning Down the Horse” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An incredibly fun farce about the Trojan war filled to the brim with wordplay and absurdity. It’s stupid funny (in the vein of Monty Python) and had me consistently laughing. If you enjoy that style of humor, you’ll love this! @fishing4chipstc

Another fantastic review for Burning Down the Horse! We're on at 1pm every day so don't miss out on this "giddy, irreverent, interactive and wonderfully silly" Fringe hit. Tickets still available here: pleasance.co.uk/event/burnin… #edfringe #EdFringe24 #immersive #theatre #comedy
"The script, by Sean Wareing and Freddie Walker, is as hilarious as it is endearing. The gags are profoundly silly." They work like Trojans so go and see @fishing4chipstc's Burning Down The Horse. ★★★★ 4 stars: therecs.co.uk/burning-down-t…
