Actor Charles Paris features in a fringe show at the Edinburgh Festival, with a murder to challenge him in So Much Blood. Edinburgh and the Festival are background and foreground with Charles, flitting between a re-visualized Midsummer Night's Dream, a mixed-media satire, a late-night revue, and his own one-man show on Thomas Hood. Charles copes splendidly with the Festival, the girl with the navy eyes, and with a complex murder investigation.
