Francesca Moody has become the Edinburgh Fringe producer with the Midas touch – espeically when it comes to solo shows, having notably had massive success with Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, while 2024’s sell-out Weather Girl is due to get a Netflix adaptation.
This year’s big show is Roleplay – stylised as ROLEPLAY – is written and performed by Australian Hannah Reilly, and is a drama about the contrastiung currents in contemporary feminism. In it, a broke podcaster rebrands herself as a ‘slutfluencer’ in pursuit of fame – but at what cost to her soul?
Obviously there’s a danger of unhelpfully overhyping Moody’s involvement: but it’s certainly a good sign when picking a show to watch this festival, and odds are the tickets will fly as a result.
