the TEAM at 10: Bruised Buskers as told by Jess (with a crucial detail supplied by Jill)

As the TEAM celebrates its 10th Anniversary, we’re sharing our favorite memories from the last 10 years together.

JESS: Jill and I were busking for the team on Princes Street in Edinburgh for A Thousand Natural Shocks and we were handing out flyers for the show. The flyers had Brian’s face on them with a big black eye because we had a huge boxing montage between Hamlet (who I played) and Laertes (played by Brian). Jill and I and the rest of the team were walking around with black eyes and bruises on our faces and boxing gloves. This little red headed Scottish kid comes up to me, plump, broguey, and total UK-style Little Rascals and punches me. Hard.

He may have said something. Maybe Jill remembers…

All I know is he scared the shit out of me and was one tough seven year old.
