Review: EDINBURGH 2024: I'M ALMOST THERE, Summerhall, Main Hall
Fans of the Gossip Girl TV adaptation may recognise the show’s writer, Todd Almond, as he sits down at the piano. He begins to skilfully accompany himself while telling us about an unconventional day where a character, we presume is largely based on himself, reluctantly goes to a friend’s brunch and ends up meeting the potential love of his life.
