About A Stop On The Road
A Stop on the Road is an Edinburgh-based performing arts event that runs monthly, now appearing at the Fringe. Presented by the amateur company of the same name at Bedlam Theatre, it offers a whistle-stop tour of new writing premiering at this year's Festival Fringe — with a twist. The star of the show is the mighty etch-a-sketch, described as the most important tool for any self-respecting cultural commentator. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A Fringe showcase with a genuinely unexpected centrepiece — new writing previewed alongside an etch-a-sketch. If you're curious about how those two things connect, there's only one way to find out. A bargain night of new work at Bedlam Theatre.
