A very welcome lie down in a darkened room in the middle of a blazing hot day on a very busy Fringe Sunday. I’ll take it! And the bed ….is oh so relaxing …and the earphones are, well, just… just a minor issue.
I begin to drift off. But then!
The sound is extraordinary, and I swear I feel the bed move and feel the air shift over my face. Things are moving close to me. Someone, something is lying beside me. Yes, I have a bedfellow who is acting in a very peculiar way, and yet his voice has a certain reassuring quality and timbre, which is not altogether unpleasant. I just wish he would lie in one place for a minute!
To say any more would be to enter spoiler territory.
As a previous guest of Fringes past I can testify that Darkfield are moving on, flooding the zones, getting more liminal, I see a significant progression from the airless seated confines of shipping containers. It’s getting a lot more real and let’s just say …. a lot scarier.
