Episode 21 - Meghan Tyler at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe

Strap in, lads. This one is truly a cracker. Team Nasty sit down for an utterly class chat with playwright, actress and bringer of all round good craic, Meghan Tyler. We discuss her insanely brilliant new play Crocodile Fever, witchcraft, finding your coven, and the strength of female friendship.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Northern Ireland, 1989. Rebellious Fianna Devlin crashes back into the life of her pious sister Alannah. Together for the first time in years, they are back at each other's throats in seconds. And when they are forced to confront their tyrannical father's hideous legacy, all hell breaks loose. Fuelled by Taytos, gin, 80s tunes and a chainsaw, it's the Devlin sisters versus the world. Like Thelma and Louise's punk daughter, Meghan Tyler's surreal new play is a grotesque, black comedy celebrating sisterhood whilst reminding us that the pressure cooker of The Troubles is closer than we imagine. www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com

The show is smashing the reviews and is starting to sell out so book your tickets quick. It is running until 25-Aug (ex 12 + 19) at the Traverse Theatre. It is on at various times. Check the Traverse website for times and to book tickets - https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event/crocodile-fever
