The only thing Adam and Blake have in common is a friend one is trying to avoid, and the other is trying to save. When Adam’s defence unfolds a reckoning of Blake’s morality, she must come to terms with the fact that she may never reach who she’s chasing.
Think you’re a good person? Think again.
Would you mind giving us a brief insight into what your show is?
A selfish hero and a heartless lover battle for the moral high ground.Think you’re a good person? Think again.
Midnight Building is a university drama where two strangers battle over how to properly support their friend in the wake of a tragedy. It will make you question your morals, switch sides, and laugh.
Tell us about the creative team and process involved?
My friend, Aryan Bhattacharjee, and I came up with the story. After lots of talks about what is important to us, we built a story around an issue we care deeply about, with characters who can’t figure out how to treat it properly.
How does it feel coming to the Fringe?
This is my first time at the Fringe as a writer. I came in 2019 as a performer, and it was my goal ever since to return with a show of my own. So it is, quite literally, a dream come true.
There are over 3,000 shows at the Fringe. So, what sets your show apart?
We will make you laugh in a situation where you would least expect to.
Is there anything specific you’re hoping for the audience to take away?
I hope our audiences have a conversation following the show, and I hope they have conflicting opinions of our characters. The show tries to explore the nuances of what seems to be a “black and white” situation, and so far, that has sparked some really incredible discussions with people who have seen it.
Your ideal audience is in attendance, who’s watching? Or more importantly – who isn’t there…
Emma Watson, Andrew Garfield and Greta Gerwig, and the rest of the seats are filled by people who love Killing Eve and Sex Education.
It’s an intense month, so where you’re able, how do you plan to relax, and are there any other shows you intend to see or want to recommend?
I plan to see “Police Cops: The Musical” and Catherin Cohen on repeat.
In your ideal world, how can we improve the world of the Fringe, of performance, and the industry?
It is fantastic how the Fringe is open to everyone, however, the cost of putting on a show is very restrictive. If the Fringe could find a way to make grants more accessible and venues a bit more affordable, that would open the door for many more production companies
