A GROUP of students from Cirencester College’s Sundial Theatre Company have gained four star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for their production of After the Flood.
The piece of speculative fiction, written by Duncan Walthew, performing arts lecturer and producer in residence at the college, offers a look into a dark and frighteningly plausible future where gangs of young survivors of a cataclysmic world-wide disaster struggle to survive. Eight of them are trapped at the top of a flooded tower block in a submerged city. What happens next in this tensely written thriller kept Edinburgh Festival audiences gripped throughout the 10-day run of performances.
Chairman of the company Steve Moyse from Cricklade said: “From the organisation of accommodation through to rehearsals and performances was very long and intense but worth every second. The experience gave me the opportunity to work with exceptionally talented actors, directors and techies on a phenomenally written script at the biggest arts festival in the world.
After the Flood will be performed at the Sundial Theatre on Friday, September 9 at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £7 or free for students.
