A taste of Edingburgh Fringe in London
MEDIA RELEASE COURTESY: Sell a Door Theatre Company Ltd
This July multi award winning Sell a Door Theatre Company are bringing a taste of their Edinburgh Fringe Season to London.
They are premiering two new pieces of writing at the Rosemary Branch Theatre as part of the first London Festival Fringe, proving that companies can produce at both festivals, despite the conflicting dates.
Where the Solitary Eagle Flies by David Hutchinson was developed with the Liverpool Everyman Theatre in 2009. This powerful tale of love, friendship, secrets and eventual destruction asks the question "how can these lovers fare in a world that has no place for their love?" "Hutchinson is a playwright to watch" is how What's on Stage described this dynamic new play which explores unredemptive love set against a backdrop of war.
July 20th - July 22nd
Rosemary Branch Theatre 19:00
Running time 1 hour 10 mins
Next Thing You Know by American duo Ryan Cunningham, musical by Joshua Salzman, has its European premiere after a very successful run in the US. The musical explores what happens after the happy ever after, when relationships become too secure, and the spark begins to fizzle out. Two couples weigh up the pros and cons of being 'stuck' in their relationship.
