Delayed Encounter

Synopsis:
-

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.

Forbidden Experiment

Synopsis:
. . .the king caused tak ane dumb woman, and pat hir in Inchkeith and gave hir two bairnes with hir. . . In 1493 a young King James IV of Scotland ordered that two infants be left on the island of Inchkeith in the Firth of Forth to be reared by a mute woman. He hoped to uncover humanity's original language; the words Adam shared with his God. What James did became known as The Forbidden Experiment. In 2009 Rob Jones and Michael John O'Neill issued a Freedom of Information request for data on the British Army's activities on Inchkeith during the Second World War. The pair wanted to know about the MoD's interest in language deprivation, and about the forbidden thoughts that became forbidden acts once again on that lonely island in the Firth of Forth. It's taken some time, but Rob and Michael have found something. Something they think you should know.
