Persistent And Nasty

In the first of our episodes covering the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Louise talks to the incredible Rosy Carrick about her new show, Musclebound. Following her multi award-winning theatre debut, Passionate Machine, Rosy Carrick is back. When bodybuilders and 80s action films unite, you can always count on a good hard flogging! And, for a young Rosy, witnessing characters like He-Man and Conan being beaten and humiliated by their male antagonists sparked the most glorious erotic obsession of her life. Now 40, with a grown-up daughter of her own and a string of unfulfilling relationships behind her, Rosy is on a mission to rediscover her sexual power – but can tortured beefcake really be the key to her salvation? 'Intelligent, articulate, funny' (Scotsman). See Musclebound at Assembly Roxy (Downstairs) at 17:50 (1h) from 3-28 August (excl. 10, 16, 23).
