“Moving stories of love and loss.”

“Amid the hustle and bustle of the festival, this is a soft, poignant experience – one that reminds you that moving stories of love and loss are everywhere around us.”

“This reviewer has lived in Edinburgh for almost thirty years and, with some shame, visited places on this walk that she has NEVER been to before. The stories lollop from lost opportunities, lost loves, unfinished stories, tangly relationships, and love waiting to be found.”

“Some of these stories are laugh-out-loud funny. The Barbara Hepworth story is a chortle-worthy delight. Others are intriguing – the vet, the box, the Cowgate Kaiser sign. A couple made this reviewer cry – quite the feat when you’re on your feet in busy streets on a sunny Edinburgh Sunday. “

“There is a lovely wistfulness in these stories – a sense of confidences being shared so you quickly forget this is a play and instead, enjoy this window into these various people’s worlds.”

“Hard to provide a ‘crescendo’, you might think, with such a format, but ‘Whisper Walk’ delivers here too, with bells on. Be sure to pick up the phone.”

“The joy of this piece is taking the time to stop, look up, and marvel at the wonder of the world – and the people – around us.”

“As a piece of contemplative momentary escape while still being part of the Fringe, this works exceptionally well.”

“There was something soothing and dramatic as it struck me partway through that I was amongst people who were creating similar memories to the ones I was hearing. In years and decades to come, they will reflect back and think that was something that should have been included in a real Fringe show… and here they are this time round. This is an immersive experience which works beautifully.”

Stagedoor - by Lyn Gardner

“…location and storytelling feel properly entwined, but the pleasure here is also in the journey and the sense as you stand on the street watching the world hurry by that your headphones are delivering you a series of little secrets which tell the buried stories of the city so easily lost in the hustle and bustle.”

Glam Adelaide - by Rod Lewis

“A deeply personal walk down memory lane that renews our appreciation of those moments in life we hold dear”

“a dreamy walk down the memory lane of 19 storytellers across 20 stories and 14 locations.”

“Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes terrible…at each location, the storyteller reminisces about one such time or a single encounter.”

“Whisper Walk is an intimate adventure that runs through a gamut of emotions. We are reminded of the importance of human connection, and the way places can trigger our memories. We are reminded to treasure those special moments that happen through life, and to never discount the impact a seemingly simple event may have on our lives. The voice actors tell their stories with all the heart, humour and drama that is needed to make an impact.”

“Where Whisper Walk ends, our own journey continues.”
