Summerhall Festival 2016: Three more Fringe Firsts for Summerhall


Another three Summerhall shows have been awarded Fringe Firsts.

Jenna Watt’s Faslane, Two Man Show by Rash Dash and Us/Them by Bronks were all awarded The Scotsman’s prize for new writing in the second week of the Fringe.

The paper’s chief critic Joyce McMillan told The Stage, the award winners were  “a really interesting mix of completely new people to the list, with established Fringe First winners who have come back with terrific work again“.

Earlier in the week 10 Summerhall shows were nominated for Total Theatre awards: (I could go on singing) over the rainbow, One Hundred Homes, Bildraum, Only Bones, Counting Sheep, Eurohouse, Letters To Windsor House, Two Man Show, Us/Them, and Happy Hour.

The winners of that award will be announced at a ceremony on August 25.

Last week judges at The Scotsman awarded Fringe Firsts to Heads Up, Counting Sheep and World Without Us.
