About the show
A Writer's Mind is a new writing and storytelling theatre show by Theatre with Teeth (Student/Youth company) at Thistle Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Teddy, a writer with a passion for unique and crazy stories, welcomes the audience into the world of fiction he has created. As the stories come to life before his eyes, they are filled with magnificent scientific creations, wacky characters and love — but as time passes, people and objects seem out of place and his endings become nonsensical. Can Teddy see the difference between fiction and real life? The show runs for 50 minutes.
Why see this show?
A playful and imaginative piece from a student company, exploring the thin line between a writer's inner world and reality. Wacky characters, scientific creations and storytelling collide in this original new work.
