Eight

★ Winner Fringe First Award
Bedlam Theatre, Edinburgh, 2008 Director Ella Hickson Writer Ella Hickson Starring Alice Bonifacio, Simon Ginty, Holly McLay, Ishbel McFarlane & Solomon Mousley

Eight opened to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh festival and enjoyed a sell-out run. It went on to win three of the top prizes at the festival.

Formed around the results of a survey that revealed that the defining feature of this generation is believed to apathy, Ella tries to tackle the negative reputation her generation has earned.

A series of monologues, Eight, offers the audience to choose which four will be performed each evening, thus meaning that the show is constantly evolving.

Winner Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award and The NSDF Emerging Artist Award.
