Stag Hart Productions is excited to announce their return to Edinburgh Fringe Festival following a successful run of Yellow Moon in 2014! We will be working with new emerging Scottish playwright - Laurie Motherwell who has written 'Playback' . The piece will be directed by Julia Carstairs, Artistic Director of Stag Hart Productions who hails from Edinburgh herself.

The Play:
‘Playback’ written by Scottish playwright Laurie Motherwell, tells the story of young Max; his mother, father, and the Ogre next door. Told through a fluid chorus they are controlled by the buttons that the Boy can use upon them. The Boy sits upon the suffocating stage, struggling to sleep – he uses audiobooks and the story of young Max to help him drift off, but the voices on tape begin to take control. And as those tapes begin to break, as the story goes to places that would rather be avoided, we are given an insight into the dreams of this young person. For the character of The Boy we are looking to cast a Trans male. Our playwright Laurie Motherwell has been working closely with LGBT charities, and we are very keen to include this important element.

Why we need your help with funding:
We have already gained some funding and support-in-kind, including rehearsal space and venue hire and will be fundraising further in the coming weeks. With this said, we need your help! This is an ambitious project to which we hope to do justice. In order to do so we are fundraising for money to help us cover production costs as well as marketing, in order to gain as wide an audience as possible!

Many thanks for your time and we hope you feel compelled to help us fund this project! :-)
