Former School Captain Hannah Heads To The Fringe

Former pupil and 2011-12 school captain Hannah Elsy, director and producer at Slick Rat- a London-based theatre company developing and producing new and experimental musical theatre- is proudly taking 'The Quentin Dentin Show' to theSpace @ Niddry St, during this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

The show, which will be performed each night between 10pm and 11.30pm from Friday 7th to Saturday 29th August, is a new rock-musical and dark, surreal comedy about a bland twenty-something couple selling their souls to a media tycoon who has been beamed down from the satellites!

Asked about the production, Hannah commented: 'The score and script are entirely original and the company has a choreographer, designer and a four-piece rock band playing the score live. It is a large-scale project and incredibly ambitious for our first time at the Fringe.

We met at the National Theatre Studio, where I've been working on its Young Studio programme. We worked on the show in scratch there before also performing it at the Rich Mix theatre in Shoreditch.'

We wish Hannah all the best at The Fringe where Bablake's 6th formers will also be performing for the 29th year in a row. This year's production will be 'Othello' and, next term, we will post more information on how to book tickets.
