AUTUMN 2013

What can I say!

Edinburgh Cast I salute you!

The festival was a huge success and you really did do yourselves and TTW proud!

TTW’s first foray into The Edinburgh Festival was received with standing ovations and 5* reviews from the audiences! From cast members we saw lots of hard work and dedication when leafleting and flash mobbing the Edinburgh shoppers on the Royal Mile!

TeN

When not leafleting, eating or hanging out on the campsite singing along to Oscar’s guitar the cast saw an abundance of plays, musicals, stand up comedy, one man shows, people standing like statues or lying on the ground covered in carrots and they had a ball!

Although they did begin to realise that not every fringe performance is a good one; Gobsmeil anyone?

10TH aNNiverSarY CoNCerT

I am sure that everyone that went will fill you in on their own highlights. One of my own was seeing Titus Andronicus, an amazing play performed by an amazing cast ‘Hireth Artistic Productions’, who also praised us:
