Over The Threshold

Musical Theatre @ George Square    6 - 31 August @ 17.30   

What can happen in one night? In an apartment block in London we meet four individuals whose lives are changed by a chance meeting. Sam (Madalena Alberto), Tom (Kieran Brown), Kate (Helen French) and Charlie (Trevor Jary) makes choices that will see their lives changed for the better or for the worse.

This is a new musical by Christopher Hamilton supported by Perfect Pitch and what Hamilton does best is to drive the plot and characterisation forward with his music and lyrics. The stellar performances of the cast means a touch of the West End has made its way to Edinburgh Fringe this year. Alberto’s vocals are amazingly engaging, deep and mature, both French and Brown work well with each other giving dramatic tension throughout the piece as well as finding the comedy within their scenes which then enables the audience to fully engage in their tragedy and Jary’s singing tone is beautiful. This is true ensemble acting at its best.

Directed with flair by John Brant this is definitely a production to see and one to look out for in the future!
