Chaos
Chaos is a rough comedy about three 30-something women losing control over their lives and ending up in a total mess. When two respectable sisters and their friend end up in jail one night there has to be a reason for it. Chaos is based on a Turku City Theatre's adaptation of Mika Myllyaho's play with British actresses Gowan Clader, Jo Freer and Mary Gapinski. This is Almodóvar in thermal underwear as Myllyaho´s dark comedy lifts the lid on modern, urban womanhood. Dates: 3-29 August 2011
Chaos at FringePink Noise by FORK
After selling out in Scandinavia, FORK comes to Edinburgh to perform their hit a cappella performance, Pink Noise. FORK is known for magnificent shows that reinvents a cappella and fearlessly combine the various forms of stage art; music, theatre, dance and light show which all add up to a humorous, yet elegant show experience. The group also throws in a good dose of love and self irony - leaving it up to the audience to find where the line between love and irony goes, and who's laughing at who. Dates: 3-28 August 2011
Pink Noise at FringeOvercoat
The Overcoat is a fast, furious and deeply sarcastic satire where banks and bankers are in for a kicking. The overcoat tells a story of a sympathetic man who is undervalued by his work colleagues. This is Gogol for today in a dazzling new comedy that had it's first public performance at Finnish theatre Ryhmäteatteri. Catherine Grosvenor's Scottish adaptation is about an incomprehensible world where people still look for love and happiness. Dates: 3-29 August 2011
