What an AMAZING place the Edinburgh Fringe is! A plethora of talent and so many varied shows - we are having a fabulous time. Heres to the rest of this week.

The Long Road tells the story of a family torn apart by their son/brother stabbed to death outside a shop. In order to get closure and answers meeting his killer appears to be the only way forward!…

We've done it. First performance ✅
Here's what our audiences thought. There are still 5 more chances to see THE LONG ROAD at Ed Fringe, head to theSpaceUK Surgeons Hall 17:35 today until 24 August
edfringe.com

"Searingly powerful, thought-provoking production that explores the complexities of restorative justice in the aftermath of a violent crime. A tight, spartan production, the acting was intense and brilliant: you absolutely felt what it would be like to be in that situation. Must see!"

"Powerful, moving, gripping drama with thought-provoking content and great performances from all five cast members. A must-see at this year's Fringe."

"amazing production. Fast-moving storyline with extremely credible, strong characters and an excellent script. All of the acting was powerful and the team performance together kept our interest throughout. Brilliant performances from all"

Thank you to Chez Stone for the fantastic production photos!
