EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- How To Act
Tell us a little bit about How to Act.
It's a new play that takes place in the setting of a theatre masterclass being given by a successful director with the help of a young actress. The story involves their developing relationship and what it reveals about art, ethics and truth!
Why is it so important to tell this story?
The story is really about different approaches to storytelling and the ethical and political implications they have. It asks questions about who is charge of different narratives and what happens when factual detail is sacrificed in pursuit of a more general understanding. Specifically it touches on the west's relationship with other countries - in particular Nigeria - on which we rely for some of our most needed resources and what impact this might have on our cultural understanding.
What's next for your show after the Fringe?

Tell us a little about the background of the creative team.
The project has been supported over quite a long period by National Theatre of Scotland and all the staff there. The team includes two brilliant actors, Jade Ogogua and Robert Goodale and a fantastic Associate Director in Paul Brotherston.
Timings and ticket information for How To Act are available on the edfringe website.
