Joe McWilliam (aged 17) of Hurds Farm and Julian Plunkett (aged 14) of New Road, beat off stiff competition at auditions to perform in a new Duck Egg Theatre Co. Musical previewing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a week this August. Entitled A Little Piece of Heaven. It centres on teenager Shanie who develops a massive teen-cult internet following during the 2012 Olympic Games Ceremony revolving around actual teenage conspiracy theories. Joe played Dom, a leading character and nasty power-crazed individual. Julian, the youngest member, played Elijah, a computer geek, only there to help the cult with Powerpoint, but mercilessly dragged into the action. Both boys had solo singing parts, and Joe played guitar in the show. At auditions both boys performed a drama solo, a rock song and were tested on their musical ability. They travelled to Edinburgh on August 10th and during the five action-packed days that followed, they performed the play daily at Paradise at St Augustine’s in Edinburgh centre.
