BAWSOOT THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS:

THE RAVEN
Bawsoot Theatre Company returns to the Edinburgh Fringe festival
2015, this year with their original adaptation of Edgar Allen Poes, The
Raven. Centred on the plagued protagonist, this reimagining
depicts a graphic tale of obsession and the pursuit of perfection, infused with our own
Insta- generational ideals.

Observe as The Man battles his subconscious, and the demons that lurk
beneath, as he attempts to recover the last remnants of his beloved Lenore.
Followed by the eponymous Raven, he tumbles deeper into madness as he
slowly uncovers his true nature. This dark and twisted parable of anguish and
torment, is performed by a talented cast of Queen Margaret University
graduates, who provide raw energy to this timeless tale.
Bawsoot Theatre Company had a successful stint at last years Edinburgh Fringe
with Swiss Cheese, which used the setting of an uncomfortable dinner party
reunion to discuss the implications of euthanasia. Now, this fresh-faced
collaborative ensemble return with a unique retelling of Poes classic told through
a fusion of poetry and physical theatre. With design from Laura Caldwell who
provides an ethereal and unmistakably mesmerising backdrop to this
performance.
