Edinburgh Fringe
Cringe
It began with a show. The Show. The star-hopping utopian sci-fi show that seized American hearts and minds one television set at a time. In 1969, a group of housewives gather in their kitchens to write forbidden love stories. Meanwhile, in a Y2K bedroom, two teens fall down a sinking spiral of a 50-year-old TV series and its obvious homoerotic themes. Cringe follows the creation of fanfiction as we know it - an unabashed, unauthorised celebration of intergenerational fandom, liberative queer space, and collaborative fantasy with a dose of camp and an even larger dose of... well. Cringe.
