Award-winning Edinburgh Fringe play about the world's greatest piper to show in Glassford
An international multi-award winning play which sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe is coming to the village of Glassford.
Thunderstruck is about the greatest piper who ever lived centering around the life and music of Gordon Duncan - a piper known for his innovative approach to traditional bagpipe music.
The play's creator, David Colvin, was inspired by Duncan's music, which was both embraced and rejected by traditionalists, sparking a desire to explore the themes of cultural confidence and pushing boundaries.

'I am orgasming on stage every night for this very good reason'
If art is digging into the human condition, then Betty Grumble has arrived at the core with a pickaxe. The eco-sexual sex clown (more on this later) will be taking her most risky show yet to this year's Edinburgh Fringe in Betty Grumble's Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t. The show is a flowing blend of clownery, silliness, fleshiness, poetry and in its essence is deeply queer – born from drag, burlesque, strip-tease and underground LGBT scenes. Betty Grumble is both profane and profound – depending on who you ask. Her show is also deeply personal for Emma Maye Gibson, the Australian performance artist behind Grumble, she explains in a chat with Metro ahead of her Fringe run. Gibson's alter-ego Grumble – a 'war-mask' against patriarchy and love letter to living – will be masturbating and orgasming on stage every night. Emma Gibson explains: 'If you haven't encountered a sex clown before, you might imagine somebody who uses their body to remind us to love ourselves.' Audience members will be encouraged to look at a content brochure pre-show, which will warn of 'sex scenes' and 'joyfully wetter full-frontal nudity'. The orgasm is a release of all Gibson's personal grief: of losing her best friend, drag artist Candy Royal, in 2018, and the grief of injustice in her horrifying domestic violence ordeal. Gibson has aptly named the moment the 'Grief Cum'. 'I did it last night, and I hadn't actually had an orgasm in my personal life in about a little while, maybe a week and a half,' she says. 'The first time I ever did the show I was so nervous… I didn't fake it, I just didn't have a kind of clench-release orgasm that some of us have. It didn't happen for me. 'So the next night, I said to myself, 'You have to, let's experience this. Let's really go for it.' So I allowed myself to kind of really be seen in all of the contortion and twists that can happen as you're climbing in that way. 'And I did. Then I've had a 'real orgasm' – a big orgasm – every time I've done it.' Some nights, reaching orgasm takes Gibson longer if she's nervous or feeling uncomfortable. But she's always healing. 'I feel genuinely restored after the show. I feel good. It feels liberating,' she says. 'If it's feeling particularly difficult, I'll imagine myself being more and more non-human, and that's where ecosexuality will help me.' Emma Gibson explains: 'Ecosexuality is a sexual identity, where people reframe their relationship with the Earth from mother to lover. 'For example, breath work would be very eco-sexual. Swimming is very eco-sexual. It's not necessarily about like, literally f**king a tree. Though people can do that. It's called dendrophilia. 'It's about coming into erotic and sensual relationships with nature, with fire, with our perspiration. 'Our bodies don't begin and end. We're as the world. We are of nature. Yeah, that's what ecosexuality is to me. How do you express eco-sexuality? 'Whenever I feel myself hardening in particular ways to the world with anxiety and stress, the eco-sexual mindset can help me just expand and breathe out. 'I can zoom into the gradient of the blade of grass and think: 'How am I bringing pleasure and love to this absolutely extraordinary dimension we find ourselves in and all of the living force we're sharing?'' It's an undeniably vulnerable act. But Betty Grumble isn't just about radical rumination: she's also punk. 'Grumble has always helped me celebrate my body, but also criticise the ways in which it has been hurt by patriarchy,' Gibson says. 'In 2018, I experienced domestic violence in a relationship and I then court justice through the court system. It was the same year that my best friend died, and those two griefs kind of composted me,' she says. 'So what I do is share that compost on stage.' It goes without saying that the Grief Cum is also a march against shame – and the male gaze. 'I've been really interested in shame, and where shame lives in the body, and the power of pleasure as a tonic for that,' Gibson says. 'For women, especially – and I use that term really expansively – our bodies have been the site of so much violation, so the orgasm, the Grief Cum and sharing my body that way is a deliberate act of un-shaming. 'Even though I'm talking about my own story, what I'm actually talking about is another way of being with pain and grief and coming to love our bodies despite the wounds that we have.' While all this is a lovely idea, reality is rearing its cynical head. Yes, queer spaces are magic – but isn't Gibson worried about a more mainstream and possibly less respectful audience at the Edinburgh Fringe? Many of them may not be there for Betty Grumble, but for an eye-catching leaflet, or a night on the town. Some will likely scoff at and resist her art. 'We're connected as humans by being human, and it's the role of the artist to make visible the invisible, and the team and I have done a lot of work to translate and to hold the meaning of the show in a protective membrane,' Gibson says. 'So this was a really valid point. But I also think that the Fringe is a place to take risks, and there are people that might come into the show and be surprised, either happily or not, and that's okay, because we can make that together.' Rather than hushing the audience into submission, Gibson is actually inviting them to participate in her Grief Cum. Come again? (No pun intended.) 'They're involved in a percussive way,' Gibson says, carefully avoiding ruining the surprises of the show. 'They can contribute energetically to the soundscape. They are given a tool to assist the climax,' she says, cryptically. 'A sonic tool!' she adds quickly, before explaining, '…I just kind of want people to be surprised by it.' Of course, Gibson isn't a fool: she knows her art is unsettling stuff. But why shouldn't it be? 'It's a big invitation to sit in some discomfort. The ocean goes through different tides; waters are sometimes calm and then sometimes tumultuous, and that's good for us,' she says. 'When handled the right way, this kind of work can be helpful, and that's why I play with taboo and play with my body in particular ways.' Gibson's goal isn't to shock you, however much this may feel like a wacky, avant-garde Fringe stunt to get tongues wagging. 'I don't sit home and go, 'How will I shock them now?' I genuinely want to invite people into my body, even though I'm very aware of taboo protocol. More Trending 'While there are reasons things are taboo, people have agency to be in their bodies in a particular way. 'There are boundaries that definitely need to be tested, especially as we pendulate the way we are towards more conservatism.' She adds: 'I hope that this act of pleasure can be one that is of defiance, but also unity.'

Tim Minchin explains the ‘pretentious' reason he turned down hosting chat show
He might now have found success in comedy, music, television and theatre, but Tim Minchin admits that no one ever thought he was 'particularly talented'. The Australian creative, 49, was born in Northampton before his parents moved back to their home country, where he was raised in Perth, the most isolated city in the world. It was there that Tim initially pursued a career in the arts, studying contemporary music but as he admits, 'graduated without actually being able to read music'. Throughout his 20s, he wrote songs, played in bands, acted in plays, and composed for theatre, but struggled to get noticed. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Sarah, the couple moved to Melbourne, but it was still an uphill battle. 'I was 29 at that stage and really did think I wasn't very rock n roll or grunge or what people wanted and thought I'd just be a poor songwriter, but literally the next year everything changed,' he tells Metro on the day his latest album TimMinchinTimeMachine is released (the album is a curated anthology of previously unreleased material). 'It's only got more and more unbelievable with the things I've been able to do since. I was really struggling throughout my 20s to get any traction and couldn't get an agent or record deal,' he said. It was Tim's 2005 comedy show Darkside that saw him finally capture the attention of the right people. He went on to debut it at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he received the Perrier Comedy Award for best newcomer. In the two decades since, Tim hasn't taken anything for granted, working his ass off, continuing to release music, featuring on a range of comedy panel shows, appearing in Californication, Robin Hood and The Artful Dodger, composing the Groundhog Day musical, and writing and starring in the comedy drama Upright. But it was being asked to write the music and lyrics for Matilda the Musical that changed everything. After it debuted in 2010, the show won a record-breaking seven Laurence Olivier Awards and has since gone on to be awarded four Tony's. Its success allowed Tim to achieve financial stability and make calculated career moves – including turning down multiple offers to host his own talk show. Reflecting on the decisions that could have made him a regular fixture on our screens (and undoubtedly rake in millions), Tim said he doesn't regret the risk he took. 'Lots of channels approached and asked me, but that just happens once you reach a certain level and start selling out arenas, which I did. They all asked me and asked what show I wanted to make,' he recalled. 'I said I was an actor and wanted to make drama and they went 'yeah right'. I said I didn't want to be known as a talking head. I've been asked so much over the years to host documentaries or shows…and I kept saying I didn't want to be a presenter, I wanted to be an artist. 'I'm not a trained actor or trained in composition and it takes a lot of suspending my self-doubt to go 'I think if I hold the line there's a chance, I might get to be an artist, not a comedian/ presenter'.' Although Tim admitted that might sound 'pretentious', he was willing to take that gamble – and it paid off when he was offered Matilda. '[That show] made me financially secure so I could take risks, but it also made me believe I was a real composer and could actually make things that could land in culture and not just be a fleeting joke. I was glad I held off on taking the big bucks. And once you're on a late night show you get famous and aren't walking the streets anymore,' he added. Despite his string of successes, Tim admits that he 'never really had one of those big career dreams' to chase. That admittedly felt surprising to me, after watching him become one of our shared home city's most successful artists. Coming from a city on the literal end of the earth, it's commonplace for young people to dream about 'escaping' their mostly middle-class existences. It's just as encouraged for parents to send their children out into the world, too, with Tim and I both sharing stints in London, a rite of passage for many. Although he has taken plenty of gambles over the years, Tim describes our shared 'luck' as one of the reasons he's been able to push himself. 'Some people think that daddy got me a car or mummy paid my rent but there was none of that. They were like 'good luck and here's $500 towards your first car'. It's a very Australian thing. I knew if everything went to shit though I could go home and had somewhere to sleep and that is unbelievable privilege and luck.' In 2013 advice he gave to university graduates at a commencement speech in our home city made waves, currently having over 5.6 million views on YouTube and being the basis of his recent book, You Don't Have To Have A Dream. In the speech, he imparted nine life lessons with his trademark wit and humour, with one surprisingly poignant line including: 'Don't seek happiness. It's like an orgasm; if you think about it too much, it'll go away.' More than a decade on and having just completed a tour of the UK to mark 20 years since his career took off, I ask what advice he'd now give to himself at the same age. Being incredibly candid, he explains: 'It's hard to imagine what advice I'd give myself. I worked so hard because I never thought I had the right to be an artist. My folks didn't mind that I wanted to be a muso…but no-one was ever telling me I was special. 'No one ever thought I was particularly talented…I never got the roles in the school plays. I just thought I had to work hard. I wouldn't want to give myself any advice that lets young me know that it works out ok because I might not have put my head down. 'The central lesson in the speech was to just be really, really good at what's in front of you and dedicate yourself to that and let the future take hold. That was something I did intuitively and now I look back and understand it to be a way of thinking. Just stop f***ing worrying about the ladder and take the next step.' So, what's the next step for Tim, who has had a notably hectic schedule for years now? More Trending 'I've got the Australian version of the tour in November and between now and then I am going to try and make a start on a new stage musical I am really keen on, but I can't talk about what it is,' he teased. 'And then next year I really want to write a TV show I have an idea for. I have two or three stage musicals I have ideas for. Next year needs to be a writing year. Even though I love touring, I've done it a lot a last few years.' Whatever it is, it's likely it will be a worthwhile gamble… Tim Minchin's new album, TimMinchinTimeMachine is out now. The RSC's Matilda The Musical is currently playing in London and will concurrently tour the UK and Ireland from this Autumn. You Don't Have To Have A Dream is out now. Got a story?

Edinburgh Fringe show aims to spark conversation on sex and disability
Aaron Pang was influenced by his own experience of navigating dating as a disabled person to create Falling: A Disabled Love Story. Speaking to The National, Pang – who is based in the US – reflected on the preconceived notions that able-bodied people have around disability and sex. His show explores the complicated world of online dating, drawn from Pang's own experience of using a cane following a spinal cord injury at the age of 18 – and being unsure whether to show the cane in his profile. READ MORE: Comedian cancels Fringe show over 'terror' charge bail conditions' "The few times I haven't [shown the cane], and I meet someone, they always lean in and ask what happened – the show is trying to answer that question," he told The National. "I'm tired of answering the question to each individual person, so I'm trying to pack every single Uber driver and curious auntie and random stranger on the street into a room and get it done in one go." Falling: A Disabled Love Story challenges the narrative around disability, offering an unflinching insight into online dating, paying for sex and navigating intimacy. "The goal is to change people's minds," Pang said. "This is a thing that not a lot of people think about, in terms of how disabled people date and how they have sex and how they find love." Pang added that people often avoid talking about disability and sex, or they might pretend or assume that disabled people don't have sex. He told The National: "People don't think about disabled people as sexual beings, they think about, 'you need to learn how to walk, you need to heal first'. "But I've healed as much as I can, it's time to move on with life – there's all sorts of life to be lived. Pang said that assumptions around sex and disability often depend on cultural standards. He told The National: "A lot of western cultures are very hush, hush about it, because they don't want to make you feel bad, because they think that they have some preconceived notion that it might get in the way. READ MORE: Alba playwright puts his money where his mouth with Fringe show "In reality, I do want to talk about it, I'm comfortable talking about it. It's them who are uncomfortable." Reflecting on his Chinese background, he said: "In eastern cultures they can be a lot more blunt, which is sometimes a benefit as opposed to people tiptoeing around it, and it can be very uncomfortable." 'Disabled stories are our stories' It is Pang's first time at the Edinburgh Fringe – and the first large piece of work he is performing as a solo artist. While he feels excitement, there is also a level of apprehension, particularly when it comes to considerations around accessibility that able-bodied people are less likely to need to take into account: Access to venues, Edinburgh's cobblestones, or the need to preserve energy for the day. Pang said that Pleasance – which runs the venue he is performing in – has been "on top of accessibility". He stressed the importance of the Edinburgh Fringe being a festival which is not only accessible to everyone, but also platforms disabled artists and their stories. READ MORE: I'm performing at the Fringe but fear I won't be allowed to re-enter the US The team behind Falling: A Disabled Love Story is Pang, who stars in the show, and his partner Connie Chen, who is the show's director and is also disabled. Pang stressed the importance of having the show created and led by disabled people, as he told The National: "This is disabled art at its core, and it's really important that it is disabled people forming it." He added: "We are the future. Everybody becomes disabled. You either die early or you become disabled. "Disabled stories are our stories." Falling: A Disabled Love Story is at Pleasance Courtyard (Bunker 2), July 30 to August 25 at 3pm.
