'SCAPE'
EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
AUGUST 2025
"A Fringe debut, SCAPE is a beautiful way to honour the impact of a lost dad."
- The Scotsman
​
"The real highlight of the performance, it's final moment. Here, [Sophie Vincent] performs a moving monologue in unison with 'Father', outlining the responsibility of having a child, and this recognizing the selflessness of his fatherhood."
- The Scotsman
AUDIENCE REVIEWS
"An eerily beautiful take on memory and grief"
- Jeremy R
"Fringe Multimedia theatre at its finest. Offering a stark depiction of grief (tinged with moments of black humour), SCAPE sees a masterful Sophie Vincent bare all in a deeply personal expose of emotion and longing. When is it time to let go? Are you damaging yourself by holding on? All these questions and more bubble to the surface in this haunting, well acted psych drama.

- Mitchell H
"This is one of those shows that just stays with you. Whereas other shows I’ve seen at fringe absorb my attention in the hours following the performance. SCAPE feels like it’s just been sitting in the room with me everywhere I’ve gone since, keeping me company but making no demands. Quite easily one of my favorite shows I’ve seen here."
- Declan
"Very moving performance by Sophie Vincent who delivers her text in a near trance that had me fixated - the play explores grief and not wanting to let go and how one can create rituals to maintain the link with the departed. The technical work that has gone into it with the videotapes playing in the background is amazing and the director Kendall has shown tremendous courage in exposing a very intimate part of her personal history. A must see"

"Such an emotionally gripping performance of grief and despair leaves you in tears."

'IF I ONLY COULD'
EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
AUGUST 2024
"Words can't do justice how good If I Only Could is."
- The Indiependent
"Sophie Vincent, as Joan, gives a raw, occasionally devastating performance that’s near impossible not to tear up at."
- Lexical Lunacy
AUDIENCE REVIEWS
"It will be hard to find another show with a mix of such gorgeous writing, generous vulnerability, and such a fun production. If I Only Could is a delightful and cathartic experience for anyone who has experienced loss. This team is fantastic!"
- Michael M
"Wonderfully acted, entertaining,
heart-warming, heartbreaking and hilarious! Deserves 5 stars and should definitely not be missed!"
- Naomi
"Saw this on the spur of the moment and so glad we did! Poignant writing, skilled acting and excellent direction and staging, which really made the most of the space. Layered portrayals of complex characters made this a joy to watch and tugged at the heartstrings!"
- Jessica
"A deeply emotional and playful story that left me wanting to call my sister and tell her how much I love her. The script is excellent and the performers are absolutely fantastic, letting the audience in with such ease and grace. Highly recommend!!"
