Dateline: 11th August, 2004

The Unluckiest Show on the Fringe?

ACS productions reckon that their show, Cloning Adam, has to be the unluckiest show on the Fringe.

It all began when they lost three actors in a week: two went on to bigger things and another walked out because of "negative vibes". That left them with five days of rehearsal instead of two and a half weeks.

Then, when they arrived in Edinburgh, their posters got lost. Their flyers turned up OK but the posters vanished.

After a successful technical rehearsal, the venue's technican managed to wipe the lighting desk's hard drive and the back-up disk, so they had to redo the lot, instead of having a dress rehearsal, which took until 5am on the day the show opened.

They had five hours sleep in 36 hours, no run-through in the space, and when did the press (not the BTG, by the way) turn up? On the first day!

They're all pretty distraught, says spokesman Andrew Shepherd, because now everything's running fine.

Cloning Adam runs until 17th August at C Cubed, from 15.30 to 16.20.
