Hawke and Hunter is a venue for this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival celebrations and will be hosting Traverse Theatre’s ‘Emerging Playwright’ Ella Hickson’s highly acclaimed ‘Hot Mess’ each night from 6-7.30pm from the 6^th to the 30^th of August. Written for, and performed in Hawke and Hunter’s nightclub ‘Below Stairs’, Tantrums Productions brings Ella Hickson, writer and director of ‘Eight’ [Fringe First, Best of Edinburgh 2008] and Precious Little Talent [Sell Out Show 2009, ‘radiant, wonderfully witty’ The Telegraph ****] back to the Fringe for the third time with her new site-specific play, ‘Hot Mess’. This production splices high-voltage drama with lyrical story-telling. Performed in the round and backed by a live D.J., ‘Hot Mess’ is experimental in form, wonderfully honest, hilarious and presents a haunting modern tale of love, loss and loneliness.
