Edinburgh Day 24 (8 August)

Made the most of sun this morning and wandered to the Pleasance Courtyard to buy some tickets for Fringe performances next week and to see if anything took our fancy this morning.

Ended up being convinced by the father of a performer to see his daughter's play.  Was called Lady Bones.  The premise did not sound encouraging although her father assured us there were comic moments.  It was a one woman show and the performer, while a trained actress also suffered (or suffers?) from OCD.  Very well written.  Sounds a bit weird but play was based around this character discovering a young woman's skeleton during a dig and turns out she was buried face down indicating she was killed as a witch apparently.  Sort of tied into this woman saying that if she had been alive in medieval times, she would have been considered odd and possibly also killed as a witch.  More complicated than that but was very good.  Well written.  Decided was enough for this morning as out tonight for a show and dinner with London friends.  Also booked myself a 'show'at the Book Festival Saturday morning.  Stephen will be off to a fishing shop instead.
