The burning question is: 'Who Killed Santa?'
This was the question exercising the Royal Mile yesterday as our beloved Father Christmas lay motionless in a pool of his own blood.
The blood-curdling screams of horror at the sight of this tragedy were heard reverberating, almost drowning out the bagpiper on the street corner nearby.
But one of the apparently distraught onlookers was his murderer. Who?
Was it Susan in the red dress? She may look demure, but what lurks beneath the immaculate exterior? Could she be the merciless Queen of Hearts?
Was it a playing card? Their hands were blood-spattered, and rumour has it they make ruthlessly efficient hitmen.
Or, was it Charlotte, her frantic and tormented appearance concealing a cunning criminal mastermind?
The only way to find out the perpetrator of this dreadful crime, which will cause children worldwide undoubtedly the most acute trauma, is to see Monsters - every morning, 11.15am, Belly Dancer @ Smirnoff Underbelly!

Day 1 Part B: reindeer to feed
Edinburgh's friendly street community found a new (albeit temporary) member today:
Monsters' Ollo (Charlie, appearing daily in a patterned dress and a blond wig) was seen just after noon sitting at the edge of the Royal Mile, with a sign scribbled onto a scrap of cardboard:
PLEASE HELP: I HAVE 12 REINDEER TO FEED.
All donations welcome. Think of the reindeer.

Monsters' Edinburgh Escapades Day 1
Today we trod the Scottish boards for the first time...and spattered them with blood!
We are all even more excited to be here after this first show, and are itching to have another go in the morning.

'Monsters' has landed and opens today!
The tiger moth's engines purred us all the way here and, after schlepping our cases all the way to our base camp we're ready and set and almost go on giving you a show---
Today you might have seen us lapping up the Festival spirit on the Royal Mile in Santa Hats, chuckling ho ho ho in utterly the wrong season...and experiencing the first rush of adrenaline as we merrily distributed our trademark frankenstrein flyers to unsuspecting passers by, with the opener:
'Have you ever seen Father Christmas in a thong?'
Well, dear readers, have you? Would you like your illusions thoroughly shattered? If so, leaving aside all those of you who have enjoyed this privilege, and must be consequently scarred, you know where to come:
OPENING PERFORMANCE:
Thursday 11.15 Underbelly's Belly Dancer!

N.B.
As the cast and crew descend on Edinburgh by road and sky, we have been advised by our lawyers to alert and reassure the general public (yes that's you out there;-) that:
Despite the portrayal of domestic violence which occurs in 'Monsters', no parents have been harmed in this production.
However, we can't say the same for siblings.
