Dr Rosy Carrick’s Tardis-like Police Box time machine materialised on Leamington Terrace, near Bruntsfield Links yesterday. Slightly off course (the show’s at Zoo Charteris) but that’s the way of these things!
Dr Rosy Carrick is the very first female time traveling doctor in the world (the universe? all eternity?), pipping Jodie Whittaker’s much-anticipated Dr Who by months.
In her show Passionate Machine (winner, Best New Play, Brighton Fringe 2018) Rosy needs to build a time machine to rescue her future self, now stuck 100 years in the past where she has travelled in order to save Russian Revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky from suicide following a Stalinist purge.
She explains the reality of time travel, taking in David Bowie, sci-fi, CERN and particle physics, self-discovery, motherhood, Dr Who, #MeToo and 80’s time travel films along the way.
