Borough Market
Breaking Butterflies
World Premiere
“People think this city is built on two levels… it’s not. Two levels don’t even begin to cover it.” Broken hearts, shattered bones, business cards... and a thousand tiny, white reasons. Welcome to Edinburgh: the market is now open. New writing company Breaking Butterflies (Swing Soho Theatre, Shelf Life ORL) combines with four graduates of the Central School of Speech and Drama to explode the real underbelly of a city where boys become men, and men become dispensable.

MARKUS BIRDMAN: SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
Markus Birdman
World Premiere
Fundamentalist christians don't believe in evolution! Mind you we still can't believe it's not butter. Despite 2007's sell-out 'Son of a Preacherman' show, Dad's still a vicar and I'm still an atheist. Thank God. No christians were harmed making this show. Sorry. But I did injure a cat. "Witty, controversial, hip and topical." - BBC "Energetic, engaging, thought-provoking and funny" - Stage
