It is the story of the Edinburgh Fringe so far. On August 3, actor Georgie Grier performed her one-woman play Sunsets to an audience of just one person, then tweeted a tearful selfie explaining as much afterwards. It went viral – over 2000 retweets and counting – and Grier garnered support from famous names like Dara O’Briain, Jason Manford, Sarah Millican, and Ben Stiller. Suddenly, she is playing to packed houses.
Is her show actually any good, though? Yes, it is. It is not brilliant, but it certainly deserves a decent crowd for the rest of the festival.
