LUNG | Scott Turnbull
Edinburgh Summerhall
Saturday 6th - Saturday 27th August 2016
Northern Stage return to one of the Fringe’s most critically acclaimed venues to host an ambitious new programme of work from the North of England and beyond. Last year’s programme included Open Clasp’s Key Change - winner of the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award, and the Fringe First Award-winning Going Viral by Daniel Bye.
Artistic Director Lorne Campbell said, “Northern Stage is delighted to return to Edinburgh for a fifth year with an incredible group of artists. This year’s programme is diverse, political, contemporary and hugely ambitious. Our artists are taking on some huge questions and ideas ranging from the politics of housing and poverty, through to the human struggles of creating community, negotiating gender, living with disability, anxiety and grief and not forgetting the vast questions of ‘are we alone in the Universe?’ and ‘What does happen to all the dead pigeons?’

| LUNG |
Co-written by Helen Monks (Channel 4’s Raised by Wolves and new BBC ONE sitcom Upstart Crow with David Mitchell), Sheffield’s LUNG explore one of the most prominent yet ignored issues in Britain today in E15; the true story of 29 single mothers who, when faced with the treat of skyrocketing rent of forced eviction, launched a campaign that pushed housing to the top of the political agenda.

The Deaf & Hearing Ensemble with Erin Siobhan Hutching present People of the Eye – a personal story about parents, sisters and the love that binds families together created for Deaf and hearing audiences. Devised with Sophie Stone who recently starred as Cass (a strong Deaf character) in BBC ONE’s Doctor Who and was the first deaf person to study at RADA, this new show uses projections, sound, live performance and creative accessibility (BSL, spoken English and captioning).

Northern Stage Title Pending award-winner Hannah Nicklin’s Equations for a Moving Body is a one-woman show about the physiology of endurance – when our brains tell our bodies to stop – and the psychology of carrying on. Hannah said: “I’m delighted to be bringing Equations for a Moving Body to Edinburgh, not just because of the rich community of runners, swimmers and cyclists in and around the city, but because at the heart of my relationship with endurance sport is a good friend who lived in Edinburgh, and whose death brought me to the start line of my first
marathon.”
