  • Laura Lexx: Trying
    Edinburgh Fringe 2018: Comedy Andrew Roach Talent Presents Laura Lexx: Trying The Turret, Gilded Balloon Teviot 3 - 26 August (not 15) @ 17:15 ‘Real comedic steel’ The Guardian ‘One can only hope there’s some life-altering catastrophe around the corner for Laura Lexx.’ So said one Fringe reviewer in 2015. Luckily, the award-winning comedian with ‘superb material, brilliant delivery and irre- sistible personality’, (**** TV Bomb), has had a breakdown! Yay! Recently, Laura has been busy hosting on BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Comedy Club, win- ning the UK Comedy Award and being nominated for a Chortle Award for the third time. However, for most of 2017 Laura was trying to get through therapy, trying the patience of everyone, and trying unsuccessfully for a baby. Given all that, Laura wasn’t at the Edinburgh Fringe last year - instead she was in a tent in France with two small children and her mother looking for answers. This year she’s back in Scotland with considerably more jokes than answers. She’s done trying now; it’s time to laugh. ‘One of the most delightful performers you’re ever likely to see’ GQ Laura Lexx is an award-winning comedian and writer. She won Best MC at the 2017 UK Comedy Awards and was nominated for Best Compere in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Chortle Comedy Awards. She also was a finalist for the Amused Moose Com- edy Award, Paramount Student Comedy Award, Chortle Student Comedy Award and Funny Women Award. Laura has gigged at comedy clubs and festivals all over the UK and in Europe, as well as supporting Jason Manford, Tim Vine and Russell Kane on tour.

  • Schools Programme
    Schools Programme WELCOME A recent study found that children who regularly attended theatre with their school had higher aspirations and better hopes about their future lives. This news sent my heart soaring as this is what this job is all about! The productions presented this year are surprising and eclectic, taking the spectator along visually interesting pathways. The works include a wide variety of theatrical genres from spoken text to puppetry, from dance theatre and musical explorations to acrobatics. Many of the productions are non-text based making them accessible to a broader audience. Central to the Festival are four exciting shows by Scotland based companies as well as a regional focus on Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern part of Belgium, one of the world’s leaders in producing innovative theatre and dance for young audiences. We have also extended the dates of the Festival to accommodate the increased demand from schools with three international productions opening in the week prior to the main Festival week. In line with our mission, this will allow more children access to high quality theatre. I hope that the 2020 Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is full of special moments for you and your students. Exquisitely theatrical experiences that encourage children and young people to wish, desire and aspire beyond their own lives and immediate neighbourhoods, into their potential future selves. Focus on Flanders supported by: Noel Jordan Festival Director Beyond the Festival: • Creative learning project Imaginate

    Contact: Becky Biegelsen PRESS RELEASE (858) 228-3094 | [email protected] LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES HUNDRED DAYS, THE BENGSONS’ “LUMINOUS MUSICAL MEMOIR,” AS FINAL PRODUCTION OF 2018/2019 SEASON RUN DATES SET FOR FULL SEASON SLATE La Jolla, CA – La Jolla Playhouse announces Hundred Days, book by The Bengsons and Sarah Gancher, music and lyrics by The Bengsons, directed by Anne Kauffman, and movement direction by Sonya Tayeh, as the final production of its 2018/2019 season, to run September 22 – October 21 in the Mandell Weiss Forum. Dubbed “a luminous musical memoir” and a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, Hundred Days is an exhilarating and heartrending autobiographical piece, written and performed by husband-and-wife team Abigail and Shaun Bengson, about embracing uncertainty, taking a leap, and loving as if you only had a hundred days to live. With their magnetic chemistry and unique musical style, the Bengsons explore the fundamental question of how to make the most of the time you have. “This deeply honest and life-affirming show is a terrific addition to the 2018/2109 season,” said Playhouse Artistic Director and 2017 Tony Award winner Christopher Ashley. “I’m always looking for vibrant and distinct new voices – as well as unique ways of storytelling – and the Bengsons speak to both these aims, culminating in a singular piece of theatre that defies genres. I can’t wait to share with our audiences.” Hundred Days joins the previously-announced 2018/2019 season productions of The Squirrels (June 5 – July 1), queens (July 3 – 29), Seize the King (August 21 – September 16), The Year to Come (December 4 – 30) and Diana (February 19 – March 31, 2019).
