Childhood's End (WIP)

By Frankie Thompson

Sonic Dramaturgy by Nicol Parkinson

Saturday 22 August: 5.00pm

Electric, eclectic performance artist Frankie Thompson presents a rehearsed readthrough of never before seen work about the brinks between childhood and adulthood.

A contemporary reply to Arthur C. Clarke’s 1953 science fiction novel of the same name, Childhood’s End is a ghost story (sort of), a musical (depending on how you look at it), and an anti child star biopic (whatever that is).

‘Hysterically funny, deeply strange’ ★★★★ (Time Out)

This is a chance to see a brand new piece of work from a Fringe legend as a part of Shedinburgh. Please note this will be a work-in-progress rehearsed reading.
