Review – Fleeto – Paddy Cunneen
Shakespeare and Greek tragedy rolled into one and spat back out in the reality of Glasgow gang life and lingo.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
We have a vision to cultivate a new generation of artists and audiences, by producing extraordinary work in unusual locations. So when we’ve grown up, we want to be doing that, all the time.
A quote/moment that stands out from your show?
An epic 9 minute mime nightclub scene involving history’s first house DJ, The Emperor Constantine, pepper abuse, and Handel.
2. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less.
An oddly charming squid fills the stage with imaginary friends, flora and fauna until the tentacles of his mind get tangled.
2. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less.
A stark, stylised theatrical encounter with the emotional and social realities of knife crime – delivered via bruisingly poetic monologues.
7. If you could put on (or be in) any show/band in the world, which one would it be?
March 17, 1904, London Hippodrome. Houdini did the most difficult escape of his career, the mirror cuffs. We’d go back and do that. Or at least help out.
Name of the show:
The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection or the Survival of (R)Evolutionary Theories in the face of Scientific and Ecclesiastical Objections: being a Musical Comedy about Charles Darwin (1809-1882).
FIND poets boring, do you?
Well, what if they passionately recited homoerotic West Wing fan fiction? Or blasted industrial metal at you while roaring about grammar?
THE Fringe is all about taking a punt. About going to see shows or artists you’ve never heard of. And I’m extremely glad I did.
Hannah Williams’ alter ego, Mercedes Benz, is just like any other ‘girl next door’ – affable, quirky, pretty and cute. Except, she’s a stripper.
It’s late at night, you’re at the Old Adelaide Goal.
The beautiful, yet eerie, sounds of a violin float out into the night sky, while you look around at the other shadowy figures in the the courtyard.
ROUGH Trade is not for the faint hearted.
Think Fight Club meets 1984 meets Big Brother.
I wanna get in Freddie Mercury’s pants. Like now.
Funny, sad, awkward and heartfelt. @BridgetJones meets @Juno. #nakedandfunny
Rough Trade, the show where savagery and femininity intertwine in the glorious name of Reality Entertainment. Don’t be fooled by their pretty, painted faces.
