Alan Gordon
What’s This!
What Now? It’s a Strange Town spectacular:
Edinburgh youth company Strange Town return to the Traverse this week for two nights of a double bill – a pair of plays created for and with the performers in the company by playwright Alan Gordon.
Strange Town Nights
TV appearances and shows for youth company:
Edinburgh-based Strange Town youth theatre has a double celebration this week as four of its members appear in the BBC’s new drama Stonemouth and five of its productions hit the Scottish Storytelling Centre stage.
Nurturing talent
Traverse Hothouse response to explosion of local productions:
This August, almost 90 Edinburgh-based productions appeared at the fringe – more than ever before. While the amateur, professional and youth companies were present as usual, it was in Edinburgh’s unfunded, shoestring companies that the real growth was obvious.
Buffer
★★★☆☆ Buff enough:
There’s huge fun to be had in Thrive Theatre’s Buffer at The Space on North Bridge – and some deeply felt emotion too.
