The Author: out on tour after big Edinburgh success

The Author is on the road for Autumn/Winter 2010, after a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run at the Traverse Theatre. The show caused a lot of controversy during its time at the festival – Charlotte Higgins called it “Edinburgh’s most talked about play”.

It won a Total Theatre Award for Innovation, and many excellent reviews, including five stars in The Scotsman.
