6 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

Teddies onTour

St Edward’s and beyond! In the first week of the Edinburgh Festival, the cast and crew of Love and Information hit the road north to perform their impressive show at the heart of the Fringe. Four magnificent days of touring, practising the disciplines of the trade and performing to enthusiastic audiences were rewarded with hugely positive feedback and a four star review from the Fringe’s favourite critic, Broadway Baby:‘This is a superb student production from St Edward’s School under the direction of Jamie Johnstone and co-director Rebecca Clark….This is a complex work and there is much to

unlock.The students have an excellent grasp on the script in bringing it to life. I am impressed with the performances by St Edward’s School, who prove to be well rehearsed and mature in their approach. The show is polished, and technically sound, with lighting by Casper Sunley and music used well in creating a sense of place… Overall, this show demonstrates the young talent out there and what can be achieved by school-aged performers. It’s an excellent production of Churchill’s script. Emma Gibson, Broadway Baby, August 2015.
