American writer/performer Marino triumphantly returns with the crazy true tale of the making and unmaking of notorious West End Blondie musical disaster, Desperately Seeking Susan. This high-octane comedy offers a tell-all, behind-the-scenes peek at how this £4 million musical flopped: hatching the idea, deals with MGM, Debbie Harry and Madonna; workshops, terrifying previews, scathing reviews, closing night and beyond. Directed by John Clancy. 'Brilliant' ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'Hilarious' ***** (Cream Of The Fringe) 'Shocking!' **** (FringeReview.co.uk). 'Fast-paced fun and engrossing' **** (List). 'A thrilling, hilarious and anxiety-inducing ride ... a sure-fire hit. Top 5 Shows!' (Stage).

Fringe performers react against critics: with tomatoes!

Writer of the universally panned stage musical Desperately Seeking Susan, Peter Michael Marino, has organised a fun way for performers and writers at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe who receive bad or critical reviews to get their own back on critics at the first ever Critical Mass Tomato Toss.
