THE FRONTIER TRILOGY
After the success of The Bunker Trilogy (2013 & 2014) and The Capone Trilogy (2014), we're creating a brand new immersive triptych for the Fringe this summer.
Continuing our work in the Wild West, that began last year with the première of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in London, we are thrilled to present three original plays set against the backdrop of the American Frontier.
The three plays, loosely inspired by Biblical legends, take place in a worn down chapel in California between the winter of 1855 and summer of 1866.
Expanding the world of the Frontier, we will be releasing three additional stories that continue and complete some of the characters' journeys. These will be in forms of an online short story, a second short story published alongside the playtexts, and a short film. We'll announce these as soon as they're available.

SIRENIA
In addition to our main season of shows, we are also presenting an intimate, site-specific play inspired by Cornish folklore. We are taking over a space, never before used at the Fringe, high above Edinburgh that will become the setting for our story.
Sirenia tells the story of the a lighthouse keeper, trapped at sea as a storm approaches. The play runs at just over half an hour and will be performed twice daily across the festival.
We are also developing a production spoken entirely in Cornish. More details of this to follow.

and finally...
THE NIGHT WATCH
Alongside our four shows, we are presenting a new production, as part of our inaugural Mentorship Programme.
Working with Antonia Goddard Productions, a student company from Durham University, we are delighted to present The Night Watch.
