As Ye Sow

Theatre of the Damned comes to the Edinburgh Fringe

Pleasance Dome (Jack Dome), Edinburgh Fringe Festival
1st-27th August 2012 (no performance Monday 13th)
12. 00-13. 00

An old farmer sits rotting in a care home. His favourite son never visits, the television's on the blink and strangers come into his room at night. As his mind slowly fragments, a fear he thought long buried begins to drag itself from the earth.

Hitchcockian psychodrama meets the supernatural tradition of M. R. James in a terrifying modern haunting from the masters of theatrical horror.

As Ye Sow is a collaboration between Theatre of the Damned, the UK's leading horror theatre company and producers of the London Horror Festival, and Fringe favourites Bare Bawds, the company behind 2010 Pleasance hit Bright is the Ring of Words.
