The Parky Players are making a return visit to the Fringe this August. They are the Parkinson’s-led theatre company that first performed in Edinburgh two years ago, with the memorable, very funny and moving show ‘Shake It Up’, which a number of the Edinburgh Branch members attended.
Their new show is ‘Shaken, Not Stirred’ – “a fiercely funny, no-holds barred variety sketch show about the modern-day challenges of living with Parkinson’s. A cocktail of fast-moving, irreverent comedy and music, with a sprinkling of Bond on top (just where he likes it). You’ll laugh, you’ll cry; you might even learn something. 00 agents, film enthusiasts and blue-badge holders welcome. We’ll be expecting you!”
o When: Monday 12th to Friday 17th August at 11.45 am
o Where: The Space on The Mile, 80 High Street

(The Parky Players was formed by Janet Shipton and fellow PwPs. During the pandemic they got together and wrote and recorded an online pantomime. This was developed further with Arts Council England funding which led to creation of their first show ‘Shake It Up’)
