believable emotional states."

EIGHT
by Ella Hickson
Genre: Drama
Cast Size of 8
EIGHT swept the
board at the biggest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh Festival,
in 2008. An underground hit propagated by sensational word-of-mouth, it
went on to win a coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award, the NSDF Emerging
Artists Award and the Carol Tambor ‘Best of Edinburgh’ Award, awarded to
only one show across the thousands of productions at the festival.
Introducing eight
beguiling oddballs, struggling to define what it is to be normal amidst
the dissolution of social, moral, sexual and cultural boundaries in The
Naughties. From high-class hookers to those who make friends in morgues,
to single mothers and bereaved gallery owners, Eight gives all of these
otherwise neglected characters center-stage, including the moving,
politically punchy portrait of a man who has lost everything except his
memories of the 7/7 London bombings ("One of the finest pieces of
writing I've yet heard about the aftermath of that terrible day" – Joyce
McMillan, The Scotsman).
