About this listen

Prepare to be transported into a world where art collides with psychology, rebellion, and raw human truth 🎭✨. In this episode of The Martin Talk Show, I, Martin Colton, sit down with the remarkable Desmond Devenish at the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival—recorded live on the vibrant streets of Edinburgh. This conversation dives into the gripping solo performance that unravels the complexities of morality, identity, and power, leaving you questioning where righteousness ends and extremism begins.

Together, we explore how Hitchens—a character forged from law-enforcement training and a controlled upbringing—faces ghosts of the past and the dangerous pull of radical ideologies. With rebellion and moral ambiguity at its core, this piece blurs the lines between hero and villain, placing the audience in the position of judge and jury 👁️⚖️.

What made this show a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me was that I was the only audience member. Imagine the intensity, the intimacy, and the vulnerability of being immersed in a performance designed to challenge every belief and provoke every thought. This episode is more than just an interview—it’s an exploration of art’s power to confront, disturb, and inspire 🌌🔥.
