THE OTHER PALACE IS PROUD TO PRESENT
THE SOLD-OUT EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL HIT, TINK AT THE OTHER PALACE STUDIO
Did you know fairies are born big? They were never intended to be such tiny little creatures.
That’s not supposed to be their destiny.
Following a sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023, TINK transfers to The Other Palace Studio for a strictly limited 2-week run from 8th to 20th October 2024.
TINK was a big, brilliant young fairy until one day, in a tragic cliché, TINK began to shrink.
Performed & composed by Kat Kleve (Once, Brief Encounter) and directed & written by Lizzy Connolly (Pygmalion, The Windsors, director of A Very, Very Bad Cinderella), TINK is a nostalgic, uplifting musical monologue that tackles the modern experience of being female and the societal pressures that come with navigating from child to tween to teen to adult.
TINK isn’t a retelling of Peter Pan, or “an origin story of Tinker Bell”. This is an imperfect, messy ‘female gaze fairy tale’ in all its ugly glory. The musical leads audiences through the story of one shrinking fairy on the path to one crucial question: Why do so many girls who start powerful, unfiltered, big, bold, loud, and without prejudice or shame, begin to shrink just as they should be growing?
Praise for TINK from Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Underbelly Bristo Square, Clover) 2023:
★★★★★ Reviews Hub
“Tink is a must-see show. No arguments or debates, it just is.”
★★★★★ Adventures in Theatreland
“Tink is a beautiful show in every aspect – beautiful staging, beautiful costumes, beautiful music – but most importantly a beautiful message.”
★★★★★ Ed Fringe Review
“Despite being fiercely witty, the story has real heart and purpose. It will make you laugh right before it makes you cry… serious themes are beautifully weaved into the narrative.”
Kat Kleve, Performer, Composer and Co-creator of TINK: “TINK has already touched the hearts of hundreds of people up and down the UK and we’re so excited to be bringing this funny, magical and heart-wrenching story to The Other Palace Studio, a venue who are doing amazing things to support and celebrate new musical theatre writing.”
Paul Taylor-Mills, Artistic Director at The Other Palace: “TINK is a beautiful and raw solo musical performed by the captivating Kat Kleve. It is an empowering piece of theatre and is a perfect fit to The Other Palace Studio and the stories we want to tell in that space.”
The all-female creative team of TINK includes Rosanna Bates as Movement Director, Kate Marlais as Musical Director, and Rachael Duthie as Lighting Designer.
