Athens of The North is now available @Waterstones
The past couple of performances have sold out. So if you’re keen, get on it. Closes on the 23rd and it’ll be the last time I do it for a long time.
Copies are also available at the venue. See you there
Went to see this one nan show yesterday. Absolutely brilliant. Get yourself along for a love letter tae Edina, past, present and future. You won’t regret it 👌
A beautiful reception tonight. Got Ian’s words out on his big day only just and no more. I’m going to personally donate my fee/takings tonight to The Ian Charleson Day Centre in London - world class care for those with HIV and AIDS.
Please also donate if you can.

A quick stop off into Portobello Cemetery to pay homage to Ian Charleson on his birthday. The words he wrote in his final months form part of Athens of The North, so to speak them just up the road from the street we were born in will be special. Tonight is SOLD OUT.

The immortal Ian Charleson would have been 75 today.
Ian and I were born in the same room on a Restalrig backstreet, our families both lived on Restalrig Road, we both graduated from LAMDA precisely 50 years apart, my flat in Hammersmith is 2 streets from his. My all time hero.
THREAD 🧵
Throughout this run of Athens of The North, I’ve chatted afterwards to industry people/reviewers/theatregoers who are bemused as to why I’m doing it well out of the city centre in somewhere like the Hibs Club. And a punter last night, let’s call him “J”, helped to…
Jim and the Pod have been great supporters of the show and been so helpful with publicity. He speaks to various people about all things culture and politics. Give them a listen. @AllHailToThePod@JimSlaven

Massive thank you to @guardian for their coverage of Athens of The North and especially to Mark Fisher who was lovely and has said some really nice things about the show, too.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ Tales of the City" says Sophie Good

"An accessible and inclusive piece of theatre which will resonate with many who have any kind of relationship with Edinburgh."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A five-star review for Athens of The North courtesy of @Corr_Blimey_ a huge thank you to Eve Nugent for such kind words and articulating what I wanted to create.
We’re only on until Monday the 12th remember, so come down to @TheHibsClub and catch it

@markthannah is a storyteller I can watch for hours and hours. His love for the city of Edinburgh and the people within it, is something you defiantly do not want to miss out on this fringe❤️
People of #EdFringe we are only on until Monday the 12th @TheHibsClub and ticket sales are increasing rapidly which is lovely news. So if you want to see our love letter to Edinburgh you need to be quick. Only 5 shows left. 19:30 every night and only a tenner 💷🎟️
