Tell us about James Rowland Dies at the End of the Show

Often the things people remember when they die are the highlights… I’m trying to make that this show.

Who are the main character(s) in the show and what are they like?

Well spoilers, but I’m fairly sure Robin Hood might feature quite heavily and, like all heroes, they are full of beauty and flaws.

How does it feel to be bringing your show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe?

Like coming home.

Have you done the Fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the Fringe?

I’ve done lots and I think the best advice I can give is, be kind and gentle to yourself and others. And as much as you can, focus on your show.

What do you hope that audiences will take away from your show?

Delight that they came.

What is your favourite thing about Edinburgh during August?

That it’s my home.

What are your thoughts?
