21st August 2026: Review of Quinn's Abyss for the Edinburgh Fringe

"The visuals, created by Lois Cordelia, are bewitching. There’s a genuinely stunning artistry to the way the shadow puppets have been created, how they move, and how a sense of life, perspective and pathos has been created throughout the film. The film is subtle, tactile and gently engrossing."

17th August 2026: Review of Quinn's Abyss for the Edinburgh Fringe

"A woman’s journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance is laid bare through gorgeous silhouette projections in this ambitiously creative piece. ... The silhouette projections, prerecorded and projected over Quinn Hampton’s narration, are striking and stark, methodically put together and layered for maximum effect, especially in scenes of violent despair. Indeed, in a production which risks becoming static, with Quinn Hampton standing to the side for the entire show, it is the vibrancy of the on-screen material which keeps the play’s momentum moving."
