Throughout August, Masha Tianova was at Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Tana Theatre Company and wrote a series of Performing Recovery blogs about addiction recovery related theatre being presented at the festival.

Posted • 'So often when people in recovery describe their lives, it’s black and white, before and after, bad and good. Callum steps away from this dichotomy, as well as the linear narrative.'

Last 67 hours to book! Tickets go off sale at noon on Monday, and we've released another batch of tickets after the first sold out!

On Monday 11 December at 7pm, join the members of Edge Two as they explore the myths and legends of Greek tragedy! 🎭

This term, members of Edge Two (our intermediate acting group) have explored classic Greek stories, and have created original material based on their own responses to these tragic myths and themes.

The doomed city of Thebes reels from edicts and totalitarian government and the gods are ignored.
The passion and the horror of a time of miasma: plague.
The consequences of hubris: pride.
The feeling of catharsis: relief.
The drama of the lives and deaths of the cursed royal family.

Hear from Hephzibah, who took part in a previous iteration of Turn It Up:

“Making it as a musician requires so many skills beyond musicianship that no one tells you about... Until this course! It filled in a lot of the gaps I needed to take the next steps, including how to do social media, manage money and tax returns, create an EPK, do a business pitch and more!”

Join us in February 2024 on this free five day course for 18-25s. Apply by 17 December 🔗 https://www.brightersound.com/get-involved/turn-it-up/
