A matchbox melodrama about a girl whose delusions, while consorting with a demonic friend, and a circular saw cost her an arm. Her foolish (and impotent) father tries to make a new arm for her to no avail. Her very sexy mother Pam tries to comfort her with stories to relax her through this trauma. Her dreams soon give birth to a trampish inventor, who offers her a robot arm at a devilish cost. The debut play from Mr Twonkey, a Fringe firebrand described by Mojo magazine as 'a Da Vinci of invention'.

The accidental Fringe career of Paul Vickers
Paul Vickers never planned to make his Edinburgh Festival Fringe act his main thing. As the former frontman of John Peel-championed band Dawn of the Replicants, turned collaborator with Edinburgh underground supergroup Paul Vickers and The Leg, his foray into off-kilter comic cabaret with his debut show, Twonkey's Cottage, in 2010 was meant to be a diversion from producing a Beefheartian stew of punk-folk clatter to accompany an increasingly fantastical series of narrative vignettes.
