Ginny just loves and understands her son, and that's all there is to it. It's so beautiful.

Sonnet 54 by William Shakespeare (read by Polly Frame)

O! how much more doth beauty beauteous seem By that sweet ornament which truth doth give. The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour, which doth in it live.

The canker blooms have full as deep a dye As the perfumed tincture of the roses, Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly When summer's breath their masked buds discloses:

But, for their virtue only is their show, They live unwoo'd, and unrespected fade; Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so; Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made:

  And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth,   When that shall vade, my verse distills your truth.

Sonnet 35 by William Shakespeare (read by Polly Frame)

No more be grieved atthat which thou hast done: Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud: Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.

All men make faults, and even I in this, Authorizing thy trespass with compare, Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are;

For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense, Thy adverse party is thy advocate, And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence: Such civil war is in my love and hate,

  That I an accessary needs must be,   To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.

Polly Frame is an Edinburgh-born actor who makes her Fringe debut in On the Exhale as a grieving mother in a one-woman play about gun violence. Ahead of that, we caught up with her in rehearsals and set her our 10 Questions.

1. To start things off, can you tell us a bit about On the Exhale and your character?

On the Exhale is a solo account of college professor / single mother who finds herself a victim of America’s gun violence and has to navigate her way through the devastating and acute ‘upside down’ logic of grief, anger and revenge.  I think she’s an extraordinary character-driven, articulate, never self-pitying and with an incredible inbuilt bullshit detector!

2. Without giving anything away, what’s your favourite line from the show?

I could choose any to be honest, so might as well start at the beginning, ‘You always imagined it happening to you’.

3. If you spent a day with your character, what would you do together and what do you think they’d make of you?

I’d like to fly a microlight over the north west of Scotland with her. I’d want to do something neither of us had done, something that would still our minds and I think she’d appreciate not having to make small talk! I’m not sure what she’d think of me, disorganised probably.

4. What initially drew you to performing in On the Exhale?

It’s an amazing text, utterly truthful and constantly surprising and Chris is a great director.

5. How do you think this show will make audiences feel?

I don’t know, many things, but hopefully with the character every step of the way.

6. What has been your most memorable theatre experience – either as a member of the audience or as part of the creative team?

Hard question-there has been many. Falling through a trap door into the bowels of The National Theatre in dark glasses and a wig on a press night might be one.

7. Can you tell us about the first play you ever performed in?

The first play I remember being equally excited and nervous about was Brecht’s “Good Woman of Szechwan’ when I was 16.  A school friend had to physically push me on stage.

8. What is the most useful piece of acting advice you’ve been given?

Currently ‘Stay on Target’

9. Do you have a favourite Edinburgh haunt?

Carlton Hill at night.

10. Finally, what three words would you use to sum up On the Exhale?

STAY ON TARGET

THEATRE REVIEW: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde @captheatres

No swirl of fog which thins into a clearing. No subtle shift of lighting from dusk to dawn. But the abrupt ratcheting of a mechanical clock to denote the eleven seconds it takes the “deformed” Mr Hyde to transform back into “dear Uncle Henry” aka the distinguished Dr Jekyll (Phil Daniels).

Then, before you can say “did you remember to turn off your mobile phone” (several went off at the most…
