Director Emily Agnew's answers...

1. What is your 2008 show all about?
Genetics, Cybernetics, betrayal, anarchy and sex-toy robots.

2. Why should we come and see it?
Involution is a fantastically comic, yet searing vision of our future. The play deals with highly contemporary issues in an approachable and entertaining way. The cast are an exceptionable bunch of up-and-coming young actors, and the writing is superb.

3. If your show was an olympic sport, what would it be and why?
The Pentathlon. Because it is intelligent, has a distinguished history, and involves a startling array of outfits.

4. What are you most looking forward to about this year's Festival?
Fringe Sunday

5. What are you least looking forward to about this year's Festival?
The late night technical rehearsal.

6. What advice would you have for someone trying to navigate the Fringe?
Start at The Pleasance Dome, end at the Speigel Gardens - you will have walked all of about 10 minutes, but could have seen hundreds of shows, and by then will be more than ready for the cool beer from the Speigel Tent!

7. What advice would you have for someone trying to survive the Fringe?
Hope for the best, make sure all your clothes are waterproof, and never listen to the people on stilts.

8. Describe your show in three words
Engaging, sexy, dangerous (a bit like the man/woman of all our dreams!)
