📣 Tether 인연 is coming to Summerhall Arts as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August!

PART CEILIDH, PART STORYTELLING, AND A GOOD NIGHT OUT!

Tether 인연 is a bold new production originally made in collaboration between Scotland’s Wonder Fools and South Korea’s Theatre SAN.

Spanning sixty years and three generations, the piece weaves folk songs, love letters and war stories into a shared experience of music and memory.

Beginning as a joyous communal gathering, it gradually reveals an intimate love story shaped by migration, oppression and time. Playful, powerful and deeply human, Tether 인연 invites audiences to collectively dance, laugh, listen and remember – tracing the invisible threads that bind two nations together.

'I Half-Read Don Quixote and Now I Know the Truth' - a Work in Progress

Written by Robbie Gordon, Directed by Jack Nurse

'A man in a suit of armour walks onto a stage, looking for the truth. Inspired by half-reading Don Quixote, this is a new work-in-progress by Wonder Fools, the writers behind 549, Same Team and Kelton Hill Fair, and producers of Òran and Alright Sunshine.

Part stand-up, part confession, part knightly quest, it explores conspiracy theories, belief, and the monsters we choose to fight when the world stops making sense.

This is a chance to see a brand new piece of work from a legendary Fringe company as a part of Shedinburgh.'

📍Shedinburgh @ Assembly Checkpoint
📆 Thursday 27th August
