NOT SO NICE! are proud to present a brand new Scratch Night performance designed to showcase local emerging theatre makers in Edinburgh. The stimulus of the project is ‘[UN]LOVABLE’. As the new year approaches, the countdown begins. To Valentine’s Day. An entire day dedicated to romance and love. A day of hope, celebration and joy… for some. But what about the rest of us? Those who feel isolated, whose experiences of love are more complex, whose rose-tinted glasses have been smashed beyond repair. What does Valentine’s Day mean to us?
We are seeking Directors for this scratch night.
