For The Record

A huge success at Edinburgh Fringe 2018, this innovative show sets Toby's poetry in and amongst the classic songs that so often inspired and surrounded their creation.  As it does so it also celebrates the peculiar allure of music shared and enjoyed as God surely intended - on vinyl - in a slower, more considered way than we're used to in this age of disposable downloads.  It's a deeply affecting walk through the mysteries and wonders of life and love.

Originally developed with the help of the 'Ferment' programme at Bristol Old Vic, "For The Record" premiered at Edinburgh Fringe 2018 at the Pleasance Courtyard where it received a satisfying clutch of 4 & 5 star reviews and won The Pleasance Indie Award for Best Theatre and Family Show.  

The show has no set, minimal tech requirements and is suitable for all small theatre and performance spaces with a seated audience.  A small upright piano is required.

"...an intimate opening of the heart."

"…It’s beautiful"

"Something almost indescribably brilliantly lovely… an absolute feeling of authenticity…"

"…an intimate, inspired, unique, exclusive, immersive experience!"

''Touching and often achingly funny…I’ve never heard vocabulary like this."
