This is Soap

Described as a fix for all those Festival goers who are missing their daily dose of this television style, the company have rather cleverly devised a show set in an Edinburgh pub that was being used as Fringe venue for the first time.

There are a regular troupe of actors, and each day there are assorted guests, and the previous days audience suggest storylines for next episode.

The ensemble then proceed to improvise the episode incorporating these usually off the wall ideas.

They obviously know their craft, because they time flies by.   Then it is our turn to suggest 'tomorrow's plot'.  This done we briefly get a preview of what the audience will see the next day.

This is certainly a show you could watch daily, not just for the quality of the performance but to keep up with the story.
