Eastern Angles and Unity Theatre, Liverpool present Chicken, a darkly comic new play by Molly Davies. Set in a dystopian future where people from the north and south are alienated from one another, London sits above the chaos as a sovereign state. Davies, whose previous credits include A Miracle and God Bless the Child (Royal Court), Shooting Truth (National Theatre Connections) and Orpheus and Eurydice (NYT/Old Vic Tunnels), has created a wonderfully twisted world where communities collide, families are fractured and the agricultural idyll is distorted beyond recognition.

The Edinburgh festival in 24 hours

How many Edinburgh shows can you watch back to back? With no sleep and a lot of running between theatres, one festival first-timer takes in everything from the Game of Thrones musical to an unexpectedly violent meditation class.

49 +3 shows to see #EdFringe15

It's been two weeks now since the official programme launch, and we've finally made it through all 439 pages, featuring over 3,330 shows. Needless to say we're VERY excited for what this year's Fringe has in store.
