Charlotte Walker guest blogs for BroadwayWorld about bringing Chopped Liver and Unions to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Gigi Tisminetzky guest blogs for BroadwayWorld about bringing How To Kill A Chicken to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A young girl embarks on her dream holiday, learning to surf and going horseback riding on deserted beaches. She falls in love with her surf instructor - it's the quintessential cliché of a holiday sex-fuelled romance. This dreamlike retelling is accompanied by a cellist whose music sings, weeps and laughs, becoming a character in its own right. Together, they reveal the raw truth of the female experience: even in paradise, things are never as wonderful as they seem.
