Fringe blog (day 2): Outside the bubble
Editorial
Welcome to Day 2! Before we start, full confession. I’m a baby Fringer. I’ve only seen the shows my friends are in/wrote/directed/devised/etc. Or what was popular and therefore a safe bet. Or was in the same building because reparking is no.
So. Clearly I need to take these excellent pieces of advice. Why not venture out of my friend bubble? Why not see art made by exciting new people, regardless of popularity? Why not take a chance?
Let’s do it.
RULES:
1. Answer: b) toothbrush. Because you can live without a cell phone, you can get by with a single pair of socks, and you can always ask for directions or use the sun. But you can’t talk to strangers if your breath smells like your socks, and brushing your teeth with your finger just doesn’t work. I’ve tried. It’s ineffective. Take your toothbrush. ↩
- I must see a show that does not star friends.
- I must see a show that was not written by, directed by, devised by, etc.
- I must see a show that does not include acquaintances, friends-of-friends, or people I’ve read about a lot in the paper.
- In fact, I must see a show by People I Know Absolutely Nothing About.
