Soooo I'm coming towards the end of my time in Edinburgh but after days like today you don't want your trip to end.
I started the day with Bootworks 'The incredible book eating boy' which I must say I think is the perfect way to start your day in Edinburgh. The show is a children's show that last about 5 mins it can only be viewed one at a time unless your a parent and child in which case you are both allowed in. This show is a real treat combining mask work puppetry and…

I submitted a short script to the BBC Writersroom competition which asked for Rapid Response pieces inspired by the phone-hacking scandal. It was deemed to be one of the top 3, and is now available to read if you follow the link. Enjoy!

I should tell you straight away: I'm not a fan of musicals. However, there is something very alluring about Spring Awakening - something that moves far, far away from jazz hands, chihuahuas and black canes. Telling the tale of a group of adolescences struggling to gain knowledge of their sexualities and their worlds, the piece is a dark and appealing fable about growing up and knowledge. In Gordonstoun School's…

Sooo it's 3.18 in the morning and I'm sitting down to blog.
Today I was feeling nakered all the walking and dancing of yesterday had tired me out (staying up until 4 in the morning editing video together didn't help). So I had a bit of a late start to the day. @ameliaforsbrook had already left to catch a show when I left the house. I planned to go and see the incredible book eating boy however when I got to the box office I discovered I had just missed there last show of the…

Sooo day 2 done and another 4 shows under the belt.
We started with our first show at 12.30 across the other side of Edinburgh. A really enjoyable half an hour show by Bandwagon called 'Rotten Little story'. Then we stopped for lunch.
After lunch we trekked across town to our next show of the day 'Hedda Gabler' by Palindrome Theatre Company. I really enjoyed this piece, it's not the sort of thing that I would pick to watch myself but the story telling was strong as…
