THE NIGHT WATCH: part of our inaugural Mentorship Programme

The Fringe has been incredibly kind to us. As a company, we make work we love and each year are fortunate enough to share this work with audiences in Edinburgh. We wanted to share our experiences with a younger company, at the start of their journey, in the hope that they might be able to learn form our experience and avoid our failures.

Whilst attending the Durham Drama Festival as a judge earlier this year, I saw a play that I felt fitted with the work we have been making for the past couple of years. I loved the story, the world created by the writing, the ambition of creating a play set in a distant, unknown land. I'm delighted we're able to help this show progress and offer an opportunity to the company behind it to bring the show to Edinburgh.

The show will be performed on top of The Frontier Trilogy, each day of the Fringe. In addition to the show using our space, our creative team and associates will be working with the team behind The Night Watch to provide support, advice and guidance throughout the process.

Take a look at their gorgeous trailer here.
