Allotment Rehearsals Get Growing for Edinburgh Fringe

My new play, Allotment, is in rehearsal for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at a secret location in Inverleith. OK, Inverleith Allotments, near the Botanic Gardens.

As you’ve probably gathered, it’s set in an allotment, and the set is growing as we speak, having been planted by the director, Kate Nelson of Nutshell Theatre, and designer Sarah Paulley. The play stars Pauline Goldsmith and Nicola Jo Cully as rival green-fingered sisters, and is a Nutshell Theatre production in partnership with Assembly. Audience spaces are limited and free tea and scones are rumoured, so get tickets soon!

In the meantime, here are some beautiful pics of Dora and Maddy by Eamonn McGoldrick.
