The Early Word

The Early Word

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2023

The Early Word. The word on the elephant in the rhubarb, the word on the horse on the golf course, the word on the snail (shell), the word on my father's ship which helped him to sail through big adversity: soutenu – upheld. There is little French in the show, but there are all of Mister Galimore's rules for the marking of your neighbour's French vocabulary test. And the word in response to a first attempt at engaging someone in a dance at the school discoteque. Two, in fact: 'not you'. Folk and creatures. 'Delightfully inventive' (Observer).
