Persistent And Nasty

We chat with ThickSkin producer Steph Connell, Associate Producer Carla Marina Almeida, Lighting Designer Zoe Spurr and Composer & Sound Designer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite about their work on the incredible How Not To Drown. ABOUT THE SHOW A painful yet uplifting true story of a child asylum-seeker arriving in the UK. At 11 years old, Dritan is sent on the notoriously perilous journey across the Adriatic to a new life in Europe, only to continue his fight for survival in the British care system. 'I don’t know why my Dad let me go... I was too young, too weak, to make this journey. He wouldn’t have sent me unless there was a reason'. Award-winning theatre company ThickSkin (Chalk Farm, The Static) returns to the stage with an action-packed, highly visual production. www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com Catch the show until 25-Aug (ex 12th + 19th) at various times (see the Traverse website for times on your desired date).
