Strange Town Youth Theatre at the Fringe 2011
The 14-18s Youth Theatre successfully performed After You've Gone by Duncan Kidd at Out of the Blue as part of Leith on the Fringe. The play looks at teenagers in 1916 and their children a generation on in the 1930s. A section of history seen through the eyes of young people cleverly woven together by a series of letters. Read what writer Duncan Kidd said about his work:-
What the critics said:-
"The young cast give impassioned performances and succeed in highlighting the unsettling fact that those being sent to fight in these wars were merely children"
Hazel Jessiman, Theatre Review
What Irvine Welsh said:-
Irvine Welsh took part in a press photo call with members of the After You've Gone cast and received considerable media coverage in the Scotsman, Evening News and from STV. See link for interview:-
