Is it possible to peak too early at the Edinburgh Fringe? Newcomer Lorna Rose Treen has created the biggest buzz so far, with rave reviews from critics, and word-of-mouth plaudits from the public. The question now is, like the golfer who shoots an opening round course record, can she retain her lead to the end?
This 28-year-old from Redditch certainly makes a strong case for domination. Skin Pigeon is an oddball character-based comedy like no other. Treen emerges from a mound of old clothes like something out of Beckett’s Happy Days and proceeds to deliver some of the most hilariously idiosyncratic creations you will ever encounter.
