Fringe Theatre review: Scribble, Assembly Roxy (Venue 139)

Hide AdThere is the drama about the man who convinces himself he’s a paedophile; the first-person testimony about the stress of a long-distance relationship; the audience interaction and the eating of bran flakes; and the experimental production involving an actor who has never seen the script (a lucid Nicola Roy when I saw it).
Maybe the fidgety structure is a commentary on OCD – or maybe the material just needs tighter organisation.
