Welcome to a bustling transcription office in 2001 New York City, where typists are busy listening to - and typing out - raw interviews for pulpy television shows and other mass media. The ultimate eavesdropper in a storm of sound bites, clichés and unexpected confessions, Joanna Parson presents a unique musical monologue that shows you what happens when a young woman with a sense of humour and a guitar tries to keep her sanity and heart intact in the centre of the news cycle. 'I laughed, hummed, and was deeply touched' (Kathryn Markey, Plays For Us).

Joanna Parson: A Transcriber's Tale

It's a one-woman piece, a musical monologue, and is thoughtful, funny and touching.

EdFringe Talk: A Transcriber's Tale

"I know I won't really understand Edinburgh Fringe until I'm in the middle of it."

Dan Lentell, Get Your Coats On, 26th June 2024
