The New Wolsey Theatre is back at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe again this year with two shows. 2401 OBJECTS is a co-production with Analogue Oldenburg Staatstheater and Escalator East to Edinburgh and FREE TIME RADICAL is a co-production with The Frequency D'ici and East to Edinburgh.
2401 OBJECTS tells the remarkable story of the world's most famous amnesiac patient who proved impossible to forget. It has already received a 4 Star review from Donald Hutera.
"This touching piece of theatre occupies Oliver Sacks territory as it tells the story of a famous amnesiac. This is the most accomplished show yet from Analogue, an up-and-coming British company headed by the young multimedia mavericks Liam Jarvis and Hannah Barker. Its creators have used the facts to craft a consistently clear, cleverly restrained and touching piece of theatre." The Times
2401 OBJECTS is Analogue's second co-production with New Wolsey Theatre, following 2009's Beachy Head.
