Hello! Tell us all about your show!
Who We Become is three Lanford Wilson one-acts performed in rotation — exploring connection, longing, identity, loneliness, humor, and the moments when ordinary lives quietly change course. The plays are deeply human — funny one moment and quietly devastating the next.
The Moonshot Tape is a solo piece — a successful writer returns to her Missouri hometown for an interview that turns into something much closer to a reckoning. Breakfast at the Track is a sharp, funny two-hander about a married couple on vacation who can’t quite occupy the same morning. And A Poster of the Cosmos brings us into a NYC police precinct, where a man is being interrogated for what may or may not have been a crime that he may or may not have been involved in.
What I love about Wilson is how alive and recognizable his characters feel. Even when the situations are heightened or poetic, you feel like you know these people. In a Fringe setting, where audiences are so close to the performers, that intimacy becomes incredibly powerful.
This is our return to the Fringe after a really meaningful experience in 2025, and we’re thrilled to bring these deeply human stories back to Edinburgh.
What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?
Honestly, some of my favorite Fringe experiences have been the things I knew absolutely nothing about beforehand. I love wandering into tiny venues and discovering work from artists all over the world.
I’m especially excited to see bold theatre, late-night cabaret, new writing, and the wonderfully strange shows that could probably only exist at the Fringe. And I’m absolutely smitten with Xhloe & Natasha, so I’ll be seeing anything they’re bringing this summer. Plus — a must-see is Garry Starr, whose work I fell in love with last year. We went to see him twice!
#Have you done the fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the fringe.
Yes — and the biggest lesson I learned is that the Fringe is a marathon, not a sprint.
Protect your energy. Eat real meals. Wear comfortable shoes. Don’t compare your experience to everyone else’s highlight reel. Some days are magical, some are chaotic, and sometimes both happen within the same hour.
Also: see other people’s work whenever you can. The Fringe can become very inward-looking if you let it, and some of the most inspiring moments come from supporting fellow artists.
Talk us through your daily routine for a day at the Fringe
Coffee is non-negotiable. I start with some kind of centering. Then a walk, run, or some kind of movement. Some admin and promotion, then a good meal.
Then it’s off to the venue for flyering — though for us it’s really about conversations. Talking with people about Lanford Wilson, theatre, where they’re from, what they love seeing at the Fringe. Checking in with the team. Connecting.
Our show is at 2:05 PM, and there’s always a moment of “How is it already time for the show?”
Afterward, it’s speaking with audience members, resetting props and furniture for the next day, more flyering, and squeezing in as many shows as possible. We make friends and bond quickly with fellow artists, and it really matters to support their work.
More food. Hydrating. Often there’s evening decompression with fellow artists where everyone is exhausted, overstimulated, inspired, and slightly delirious in the best possible way.
But these plays require a lot emotionally and physically, so getting proper rest is non-negotiable for me.
Ok, where is your favourite place to eat at the Fringe?
Honestly, sometimes the best Fringe meal is simply whichever place has seating available and serves food quickly before your next flyer call.
But I do love finding little tucked-away cafés where you can briefly escape the chaos for an hour and pretend you’re having a civilized day. And for a special dinner out to celebrate the run, it’s got to be The Scran & Scallie. So good!
Best thing about performing at the fringe?
The sense of possibility.
You can have audiences from completely different countries and backgrounds all packed into one tiny room sharing the same experience together. There’s something incredibly immediate and alive about that.
There was a man who approached me after a performance last year. I don’t even know if we spoke the same language fluently, but we shared this profound, wordless connection through the theatrical experience we had just lived through together — me as the performer, him as the audience. It’s almost impossible to explain, but I’ll never forget it. That feels like pure Fringe to me.
Do you bring anything special from home to make it feel more special whilst you are away?
A few small comforts definitely help — familiar tea, cozy clothes, things that make temporary housing feel slightly less temporary.
I have a large silk peacock scarf that I hang up wherever I stay. Somehow it instantly makes a temporary place feel like home.
And honestly, the people you’re there with become home pretty quickly. I love my team. We get along really well.
What are your best hacks to save money whilst at the Fringe?
Plan ahead as much as possible because Edinburgh gets expensive very fast in August.
Bring snacks. Share resources with your team. Walk whenever you can. And remember that you do not actually need to say yes to every late-night invitation, tempting as that may be.

And Finally in three words – Why should people come and see the show?
