Theatre piece by Dylan Mooney and directed by Gwen M. Dolan about the people living on the fringes of the city centre.
This City plays at Summerhall on Saturday 5 December, in TechCube 0. It's written by Dylan Mooney and directed by Gwen M. Dolan.
The play follows two performers who bring to life a multitude of characters living on the fringes of the city centre, exploring what it's like to be forgotten by the place you call home. From there, it asks how communities survive during times of underdevelopment and whose lives are viewed as important in a city ecosystem. It's a look at the people who fall through the cracks of the very place they live in.
One thing to keep in mind before you book: it's recommended for ages 14 and over. It contains strong language, drug use, violence and themes of racism and homophobia, so it's not one for a casual family outing. If that's your sort of thing, though, it's a small cast taking on a lot of ground.
