Isabella Thompson is set to bring her "masterfully crafted" hour of clown and character comedy, Plaything, to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer.

Following a successful development period at Soho Theatre Labs, this satirical and absurd exploration of infantilism will run at Hoots @ Nicholson Square, but not before she plays around as much as she can with her arsenal of characters.

Plaything is an uproarious show born from the pervasiveness of a woman’s infantilisation. Through the lens of four distinct characters: Boo, DJ Charlie, Boo’s mother Sarah, and a hide and seek master General, Thompson subtly navigates the complex intersection of a youthful appearance and the need for adult approval through clowning and character comedy.
