Edinburgh Fringe Preview 2026 (pt. 4) | The Tale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde, A Play on Words, 3 Times I Killed
<p>The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast is the fourth and final of our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Previews, where Ali talks to a few of the artists who will be appearing at the festival this year.</p><p>First of all, writer and performer Andy Dickinson spoke about his Fringe show The Tale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde (Told by a Mad Hatter from Stockport), to give it the full title. “Deacon Brodie isn’t that well known outside of Edinburgh. Yet he inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Jekyll and Hyde. By day, in the 18th century, he was a respectable cabinetmaker. By night, a masked burglar in Edinburgh’s Old Town”.</p><p>Then actor and writer Brian Dykstra tells us all about A Play On Words, which The New York Times described as ‘Who’s On First? meets Waiting for Godot’. “Rusty and Max have been friends for most of their lives and they’ve been arguing almost the entire time. Today, they’re scheming up something big.”</p><p>Finally, New York attorney Andrea Coleman details her Fringe show 3 Times I Killed. “Blending courtroom drama and humour, this show celebrates the joy and absurdity of being alive. At its heart, the play asks what happens when you push your fear to the side and let yourself be a “killer”.</p><p>These podcasts are always a joy to record and get just a taste of what’s happening in Edinburgh this August, and we hope they get you in the mood for this year’s Fringe.</p><p>Thanks to James Coutts from Opening Lines Media for arranging these interviews.</p><p>Full details, and all the ways to listen, are over at <a href="https://www.scotswhayhae.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">scotswhayhae.com</a></p>

Edinburgh Fringe Preview 2026 (pt. 3) | The Last Drop, By A Thread, The Great Chevalier
<p>The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast is the third of our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Previews, where Ali talks to a few of the artists who will be appearing at the festival this year.</p><p>First of all, he spoke to writer and director Dante Passarelli about The Last Drop which is part of the São Paulo Showcase and which was nominated for Brazil’s 2024 Shell Award for Best Playwriting. In the play, “A couple awaits a real estate agent to visit their historic but decayed apartment. A mould stain appears on the ceiling, revealing an unstoppable leak. A man is then called in to fix the ceiling but abruptly disappears.”</p><p>Then performers, and directors, of One Fell Swoop Circus Jonathan Morgan and Charice Rust talk about their Fringe show By a Thread which “weaves virtuosic acrobatics through moments of confusion, hilarity, romance, playfulness, fear and friendship, uncovering the threads of connection present in all relationships.”</p><p>Finally, from the Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg, Simone Mousset and the great man himself, M. Chevalier, discuss The Great Chevalier which they bring to this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. “Hailed as the Bad Boy of Folklore and renowned for his expertise, bold artistic vision, and magnetic stage presence, Mr Chevalier pays tribute to Summerhall as part of the 50th anniversary of the company’s iconic Pigeon Dance.”</p><p>Thanks to Ambrose, Agnes and Calum from Storytelling PR for arranging these interviews.</p><p>For full details, and all the ways to listen, head over the <a href="https://www.scotswhayhae.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">scotswhayhae.com</a></p>

Privileged to work with Helen Bradley’s family, Kara has amassed a treasure trove of verbatim stories and first-hand knowledge.”</p><p>Then siblings Maitreyah and Kayah talk about their show Glass Child. “Expressed through dance, theatre and storytelling Glass Childhighlights their connection and how their lives have been affected by other people’s perceptions.”</p><p>Finally, award-winning writer Jacob Sparrow tells us about his debut play Sanctuary. “This beautiful, evocative play is about the AIDS epidemic in the 90s and is set in Suffolk. It is about loneliness and the legacy of shame, but also the contours of hope and the right to live.”</p><p>These podcasts are always a joy to record and get just a taste of what’s happening in Edinburgh this August, and we hope they get you in the mood for this year’s Fringe.</p><p>Thanks to Georgina from Chloé Nelkin Consulting for arranging these interviews.</p><p>For full details, and all the ways to listen, head over to <a href="https://www.scotswhayhae.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">scotswhayhae.com</a></p>
