Edinburgh Festival Day 6 & 7: Word of Mouth

STATUESQUE cowgirl Charlotte Storey, from The Heartbreak Kid, can't say no to Sod. She calls Arthur Smith's comedy 'a wonderful mix of laughter and tragedy'. Kristina Boller from Berlin says the Mark Morris Dance Group 'was witty and beautiful. I've never seen such fantastic dancers.' Her companion Stephanie Schmidt picks The Persians for of 'its psychological treatment of a contemporary problem'. Comedian Malcolm Hardee, however, prefers the Gilded Balloon's Wow Show: 'Lee Cornes follows the three golden rules of comedy. He wobbles about, falls over and then gets his knob out.'
