Capital Converse

Synopsis:
We are invited into Frank and Malky's Leith flat to witness their witty and often scathing exchanges during a very skint time. Although this story focuses on the misery and degradation of unemployed life, there is an element of farce that allows us to laugh at the absurd nature of their complaints. It's a bitterly cold December night in Edinburgh and twenty-something, Frank and Malky, are together in the flat they share at the foot of Leith Walk. Malky's only recently been kicked off the dole and has all but a single pound coin to his name, and to make matters worse he's also still reeling from being dumped by the love of his life and woman of his dreams. He is soon though about to discover that his best pal Frank may have had something to do with his current desperate state.

Notes:
One city, 50 writers, 50 plays, 25,000 words. In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we invited fifty emergent playwrights to work with us over the course of our birthday year. the worldwide search for the Traverse Fifty started last September with a challenge to write a 500-word Play for Edinburgh. Of the 630 applications, we selected the most urgent voices to form our Traverse Fifty. In January, these 50 plays were premiered all together, in one epic performance. This August, in the midst of our Festival Fever, we are re-staging these extraordinary plays, over two thrilling nights. This is your chance to see the future.

Lace Up

Synopsis:
Lace Up, written by up and coming playwrights Mikey Burnett and Joseph McCann, is a captivating tale about a young boxer from Edinburgh who has the world at his feet. Trained by his brother and put under immense pressure by his promoter, young Stuart Macmillan punches his way to a world title shot. But a shocking event in the ring casts doubt on whether Stuart is as determined as he seems. As pressures mount and the biggest fight of his life looms, Stuart has one decision to make - what price would you pay to achieve your dream?
