Romance is Dead | Edfringe Preview #385

🎙️ Welcome back to The Martin Talk Show – the podcast that dives deep into the minds of bold creatives shaping the world of theatre, arts, music, dance, and film. I’m your host, Martin Colton, and in this special Edinburgh Fringe episode, we’re turning up the volume on imagination, satire, and heartfelt storytelling 🎭✨This week, I sit down with the brilliant team behind Romance on Repeat, presented by Backyard Alchemy and New Celts Productions. We step into the surreal world of Lizzie – a woman whose dream of living inside a romcom becomes her new reality 📺💘 But as she lives out the perfect tropes – the hometown hunk, the dramatic love triangle, the quirky best friend – something doesn’t quite add up. Who’s really in control? And what does it mean when fantasy starts to glitch?Together, we unravel the inspiration, craft, and questions behind this genre-bending, thought-provoking production. We explore what happens when performance meets parody, and why digging beneath the glossy surface of our fantasies might be the most honest art of all. 🎬🌀 Whether you're a theatre lover, a creative spirit, or just someone searching for deeper truths in storytelling – this conversation is for you.So tune in, turn up, and let this episode be your creative spark. 🔥💫As always, find Martin @ www.themartintalkshow.comTickets: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/romance-on-repeat#TheMartinTalkShow #EdFringe2025 #RomanceOnRepeat #BackyardAlchemy #NewCeltsProductions #TheatrePodcast #CreativeVoices #EdinburghFringeFestival #WomenInTheatre #RomcomWithATwist #FeministTheatre #MetaTheatre #IndieTheatre #PodcastForArtists #FringeSpotlight #CreativeStorytelling #TVParody #TheatreMagic #ArtistInterview #LivePerformance #StageToScreen #ActingLife #BritishTheatre #NewWriting #CreativeJourney #BehindTheScenes #StorytellingMatters #FringeShows #YoungArtists #TheatreScene
