I got a fab review from @buxtonfringe, I particularly like, “It is a brave human who tackles a room full of children and asks for volunteers but Eden has the skill, patience and kindness to skilfully negotiate random ad libs and wide-eyed muteness from the tiny Gods and monsters.” this show isn’t going to Canada, but look out for it @colchesterfringe in autumn.

I can’t say I’m not chuffed either thus lovely review from @buxtonfringe, with lines like “The skill of storytelling and performance is in engaging the audience and holding their attention - and this Eden does with extremely well.” Let’s hope the show goes down just as well @winnipegfringe, @edmontonfringe and @gbgfringe.
I’m on a plane to Winnipeg as I type.
