“After he retired, my Granddad went on a trip from
the Midlands up to Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point of his native
Scotland. He sat, looked at the sea, and thought about his life. Then he got up
and went home. Over 20 years later, I got on a coach and followed in his
footsteps. This is what I learned.”
Join 14 other passengers
for a story of family, of fellow travellers, of whisky and chocolate, of the
longest bus route in Britain. Heartfelt, moving, compellingly intimate, Cape
Wrath takes you on a journey to the edge of the island, and wonders what we
think about when we think about our lives.

This is a story about them. This is a story about us. This
is a story about my dad - a retired policeman - and me, a protestor. Its about
fear, bravery, what it feels like to be kettled, Super Ted, the Lone Ranger,
policing the people in front of you and being sent out of class. It's about
working out what matters and standing up to protect it. It's about me, and my
dad.
"It’s gentle, it’s inclusive, it’s quietly but
persuasively angry and political in perhaps the least alienating way possible." Exeunt Magazine

THE BLOODY GREAT BORDER BALLAD PROJECT

We'll be presenting a (slightly shortened) version of our new spoken word piece, 600 People, as part of this great project. Part protest, part prophesy, part poetry, part party.
Writers, performers, balladeers and special guests from North and South of the
border create an epic new ballad written with and for the audience, every night
of the Fringe.
Alongside a series of newly commissioned "ballads" from Third Angel artists Lucy Ellinson, Alex Kelly and Chris Thorpe, plus brilliant people Kieran Hurley, Cora Bissett and Daniel Bye, a glittering array of guest artists will join our resident balladeers and the audience to source, form, hone and perform a mighty new ballad for our times. We'll try to be greater than the sum of our parts.

Yes, that's 9.30am. Theatre for breakfast! Free pastries!
A theatre piece with two songs; one original, one karaoke... As the world seems to get bigger our understanding of it gets less reliable. How on earth can you know all the places you've been, let alone the places you haven't?

Devised and performed by Jorge Andrade, Alexander Kelly and Chris Thorpe, What I Heard About The World is a bold, ridiculous, heart-breaking attempt to hold an accurate picture of the whole world in your head. A place with only five official haircuts for men. A place where you confess your sins to voicemail. A place where a radio station only broadcasts silence.
Returning to St Stephen's as part of the 2013 British Council Showcase.
"Gorgeous...makes you think about the world,
makes you laugh about the world, makes you glad to be part of the world in all
it's madness." Totaltheatre.org
Northern Stage & Forest Fringe
MAKE. DO. AND MEND.
19 August, 10:30 - 16:30
We'll be contributing a new piece of work to this brilliantly timely event, jointly hosted by Northern Stage and Forest Fringe:
"You are invited to a day of action. A gathering of the many
kinds of people that make up the Fringe’s remarkable community, not to talk,
but to act.
With the help of some inspirational and provocative
contributors, we will spend the day imagining and implementing real solutions
to problems you suggest. Our attempt to change theatre (and perhaps the world)
for the better – in one day.
Beginning at St Stephen’s and concluding at Forest Fringe,
with a collective jaunt between venues – including a new work created by Third
Angel especially for the event."
And as if that is not enough... Third Angel artists Chris Thorpe and Lucy Ellinson are both opening new shows in the Edinburgh festivals, too:
