Forums: Edinburgh Fringe, Amanda Knox
Email this Topic • Print this Page

So I had to start a new one.

She is in the news this week over her plans to do a comedy piece based on her incarceration, called Cartwheels at the Edinburgh fringe festival.

It's called cartwheels after the cartwheels she performed shortly after police questioning.

It's been condemned by Meredith Kercher's sister and a lot of people are outraged.

She plans to do her comedy act in Britain, the country that Meredith Kercher is from.

A lot of people over here think she got away with it and by coming over here she's rubbing our noses in it.

I hope she is banned otherwise there will be trouble.

I stopped some of my old ‘respectable’ newspapers because they sadly are no longer reliable. I missed this item about Amanda Knox, but this strikes me as a desperate attempt for attention(or whatever). Very corrosive idea, maybe she uses Donald Trumps formal attention grabbing team.

@glitterbag,

People are refused entry on the grounds of public disorder.

I think Knox should be refused entry for that reason.

If she wants to do her comedy skit in America fair enough, but over here it's too much on the nose.

@izzythepush,

I haven't followed this at all but I'm aware that she's attempting to cash in on her notoriety. I hear her being interviewed as some sort of "expert", for example, "Amanda Knox says her mission is to advocate for the wrongfully convicted." – cbs Apparently she's recently backed away from her support of one accused murderer and now thinks he's guilty. Too bad "the one who shan't be named" isn't still active on this site – he'd get a good row started!

@hightor,

I know.

It's nice to be able to address the issue without namecalling.

The festival organisers are adamant it's going ahead, saying they don't shy away from controversy, and the gigs are sold out.*

*I don't know if that's just the opening night, the first few nights or the whole run.

The reviews are mixed.

The best was from the Guardian that przised hed courage.

The one thing they all agree on is it's not funny.

It works as a one woman show, but Knox has no comic timing at all.

It's not comedy, it's drama.

I had to do a search. I wouldn't be interested in her show.

Bad, bad taste.
I still don’t know if she was innocent, the US campaign in her favor was very heavy.
That’s a crime I have imagined a lot (having being a student at the Università per Stranieri in Perugia myself).
