@natdogkatdog @netflix Nate is a total knockout: hilarious, anarchic, profound and completely unique! I was recommended it by a friend and now recommend it whenever I can! I also loved WEER at the Ed Fringe!

@KolbrunBjort Thank you for sharing this Kol, I needed to hear it

HUNDREDS of you have turned out at Holyrood to say no to the death of the arts in Scotland.

Together we’re sending our message loud and clear: Stop the cuts - tax wealth instead!

[The National @ScotNational]

📽️ Watch as artists protest outside Holyrood, calling for more funding despite the Government's U-turn on Creative Scotland cuts 🎭

They would never ask you outright.
But I fucking will.

"Death and taxes, as they say."

Just like Amy proclaims in Catafalque, grief and loss is an inevitable part of life. Check out this article in the Scotsman, where Amy speaks to Susan Mansfield about what our show is exploring alongside death itself:

So proud of Catafalque’s review from @scotsman_arts!

“a controlled and delicately-paced one-hour monologue that saves its most shocking moments for the end, and leaves plenty of room for understanding and reflection.” - @joycemcm

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bravo @amyjcon and @bethmorton_uk!

[Scissor Kick @ScissorKickCo]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“plays out that truth with an unforgettable and shocking vividness” - @joycemcm

[lyngardner @lyngardner]

When I take my seat up to six times a day in fringe venues over the coming days, I will remind myself that every show is a miracle. But theatre should not have to rely on miracles; we need investment. https://t.co/gyxK9qYcpX

Thanks so much for your kind words!

Enjoyed @scissorkick's production of Catafalque @Summerhallery today. Beautifully written & performed by @amyjcon, from her experience as a local authority celebrant, Amy gives fascinating insights into the role, but what do you do when you have to write an eulogy for a monster?

[Andy Catlin @andycatlincom]

First show of @edfringe was a belter from Amy Conway with 'Catafalque' which has some jaw-dropping moments as a celebrant tackles death, ritual and legacy. See it at @Summerhallery 1-11 Aug and then touring Scotland (and it's always ace to see one of my images out in the wild 👏)

[Scissor Kick @ScissorKickCo]

🔥 SNEAK PEAK BEFORE WE OPEN 🔥

Catafalque's first ever performance is tomorrow at 12.25pm at Summerhall! We are so excited to share this powerful play with you ahead of our official opening on Friday 2nd August.

And an amazing sound design by @gcameronmd that totally elevates the show!

[Gary Cameron @gcameronmd]

The obligatory tech picture. Very excited about this one. Terrific artists involved, top producers and a really moving performance from @amyjcon #Catafalque

Our Artistic Director Stephanie Katie Hunter has written for @WhatsOnStage about what the @edfringe means to her personally and professionally ahead of our summer season kicking of in just one weeks time!

Or how about peering inside @ScissorKickCo's preparations with theatremaker @amyjcon - @Summerhallery:

"And what do you do?… The question I most dread. And I know I’m not alone here."
