Edinburgh: week 2


So after a week of some tech problems and small houses we are up and running!
Our German crew is great and are putting in some insane hours to keep our venue going. I have already seen some really amazing work here, a beautiful puppet show form Georgia, some cabaret about death from France and an amazing table instrument from Poland (4 compositions, 4 players, 1 incredible table).
I must say that it is very strange to be in a city this size that is completely over run by theater and art people. This truly in the biggest arts festival I have ever seen!
Shawn, Jason and I went to Edinbrugh Castle. Uber tourist, but great history and wide view of the area. I think I found a family name in the historical records that are kept there.
We recieved a great local review and The London Times is doing a piece on the show this week, still waiting to here from the BBC...
So far everyone has been really great to us, and it looks like James Kelman old friend of the Rude Mechs and world renowned author is going to come to the show next week.
