FOXING Edinburgh, Scotland

During the month of August 2018, my short play, Foxing, played eight performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in Edinburgh, Scotland.


The play was part of London-based White Room Theatre's program Bite-Sized Plays, which annually brings a line-up of short plays to life at what is one of the world's most recognized and most attended theater festivals.


I have been wanting to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe since I first learned about it 20 years ago, so this was quite an exciting, humbling opportunity for me.


All, or nearly all, of the production's eight performances (which, as a morning performance, included a spread of strawberries and coffee) sold-out the175-seat  Pleasance Dome Theatre, meaning perhaps a thousand festival-goers from all over the world saw this play.

Huge thank yous to Claira Watson Parr for seeing this play in London and for making it happen so awesomely in Edinburgh.


Continued thank yous to all the people who have brought this play to life, including: Chris Totora and Deborah Bradshaw (who helped originate it); Errin Delperdang, Kelly Hasandras, and Olivia O'Hare (for their beautiful, fun work on this play in Austin,TX and Breitenbush, OR); Maryanne Olson (for the performances at the Brick Theatre in Brooklyn, NY); and Matt Maltby and Rafaella Marcus (for their excellent work on the London production with Pint Sized Plays).

Thank you, big hugs, and much love,
