For the final episode of our Edinburgh Fringe series, and the Season Two finale of In Conversation with Tourists, I’m joined by the artists behind two wonderfully different shows.
Kayla Eisenberg and Marguerite Stern discuss The Sound Within with Eisenberg and Stern, their musical character comedy featuring two self-proclaimed “gurus of the throat” and their hilariously questionable insights into voice, performance and the entertainment industry.
Petunia Hu introduces Cinderella and Frankenstein’s Monster Are Dead, a gothic fairytale about a Chinese exchange student navigating cultural barriers, identity and the complicated search for belonging in America.
Together, the conversations explore what it means to find your voice, whether through comedy, music, storytelling or the experience of living between cultures.
This episode is the final of our four-part Edinburgh Fringe series and brings Season Two of In Conversation with Tourists to a close.
