THE NEW YEAR To Debut At Edinburgh Fringe

The New Year will make its Edinburgh Fringe debut this summer at Greenside @ George Street

A romantic tragicomedy, The New Year follows two lonely teenagers who meet on New Year's Eve in an online roleplay chatroom. May is May. Perry is British actor Matt Smith. Their conversation that night, unexpectedly intimate, forms a bond between the two: they become one another's best friend, confidant, and lifeline through the turmoil of adolescence. That is, until "real life" intrudes...

With a script by Max Rosenblum and direction by Jake Keville, this play will find a new home in Edinburgh this August after its successful NYC run in May at The Tank. The cast features Katy Shafer and Connor Strycharz in their Edinburgh Fringe debuts.

This is the inaugural play of No Shoelaces Productions, and is produced by Kenzie Packer and Zoe Gray of Foul Fiend Theatre Troupe.
