JULIET Mullay didn’t get much chance to go to the Edinburgh Fringe growing up on Shetland.
But after leaving the islands to study theatre at Dundee University, the 21-year-old is bringing her first-time play to the world’s biggest arts festival.
“I wrote a wee bit of a story about Shetland and they sort of took it and made it into a short play,” Mullay told The National. McGoldrick spent much of his childhood on Jersey and said the play depicts the realities of rural existence for many young people.“There’s definitely crossover,” he said. “We were both raised in places where you’re not granted privacy in the same way young people are on the mainland.
“You’ll see their friends every time you go out and it’s like you’re stuck with that person’s memory in a way you wouldn’t be on the mainland”. This is the first time either one of the duo has staged a production at the Fringe – a process that is not without its challenges. With all the logistics in place, Mullay said the only thing that makes her nervous is what her fellow islanders might think of it.
