Reposted from broadwaybaby.com If you’ve ever felt stuck between two groups, both suspicious of you and neither accepting of the other, you may have the slightest indication of what Koko Brown is trying to communicate in WHITE, her solo show about being mixed race in modern Britain.
Reposted from broadwaybaby.com There is nothing so delightful as watching something you assume to be impossible done before your eyes. Attrape Moi, by Quebecois company Flip FabriQue, perfectly captures this delight in every single moment of its packed Fringe offering returning from 2016.

My Land, produced by Recirquel Company Budapest in association with Müpa and playing until the 26th at Assembly Roxy, is one such performance. Absolutely stunning feats of strength and flexibility combined with the best technical design I’ve ever seen at the Fringe make for a captivating hour and a well-earned standing ovation.
