Harlem, Jazz, speakeasies, and social revolution with a tale
of love, gender imbalance and murder, what more could you ask for? The performers of Machinal decided to
advertise their show on The Royal Mile by making a stand. They choose to hold poses and flyers to
attract the attention of the passing crowd.
Their striking outfits and great detailed hair and makeup made them into
superb living sculptures. With the
constant ebb and flow of tourist and performers it is good to see the ‘stand still’
approach. Every now and then again a
performer would burst into dialogue and from time to time there would be a
change of poses. There is always
something eye-catching on the Royal Mile in August and that which catches the
eye may well be worth following back to the theatre.
