The Other Palace presents sold-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival hit TINK

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 8-20 October.

TINK was a big, brilliant young fairy until one day, in a tragic cliché, TINK began to shrink.

Performed and composed by Kat Kleve (Once, Brief Encounter), and directed and written by Lizzy Connolly, 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?

Kat Kleve said: “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.”

Artistic Director at The Other Palace, Paul Taylor-Mills, said: “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 includes movement director Rosanna Bates, musical director Kate Marlais, and lighting designer Rachael Duthie.
