AUGUST 6 - 31, 2009
Edinburgh 2009 was a fabulous year. As in 2007 we presented 3 World Premieres, 2 Edinburgh Premieres and 1 revival. Guy Masterson directed 2 of the world premieres (Austen's Women and Morecambe) and also appeared in Tim Whitnall's dark comedy The Sociable Plover alongside Ronnie Toms - while Tim also wrote Morecambe. Justin Butcher returned for a gala performance of his 2008 smash hit Scaramouche Jones in Assembly's magnificent Music Hall and he also directed the World Premieres of Zia Trench's political work The State We're In - about Brian Haw; and his own reflections on the current issues in Palestine - Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea...
