The Royal Mile, Edinburgh

In 2002 Stage2 returned to Edinburgh - this time taking to the streets for a
physical theatre piece loosely based on Marlowe's Deadly Sins. The piece was
a fusion of Commedia dell'Arte characters, comedy, music, promenade and
procession and was devised by Jane Sutcliffe of Metaphysique together with
12 of our members. The experience of working with a crowd (including members
of the police force!) and competing with internationally renowned artists at
the festival proved invaluable experience. Within two years of returning
over half the performers were studying full time at Drama School (the others
were studying Maths, Psychology, English, Art.....)
