Use Your Words!

Karen Eleanor Wight and Rodney Umble • Professional company

65 minutes•Upper Theatre (Thrust)
A one-woman show about a new mother struggling with the responsibility of caring for a tiny human. The show is rooted in comic physicality with many props mimed – most importantly, the baby. An unsuspecting trumpet player will be the onstage musician... Don't tell him there’s no singing in this production. Or that he’ll be onstage. Imagine The Play That Goes Wrong with a much smaller cast, fewer words and less murder. Ok, maybe don’t imagine The Play That Goes Wrong at all. Is this clear as mud? Please focus. Use Your Words! brings silly to Edinburgh.
