About this show
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 is a work-in-progress.
