About the Show

59E59 presents a festival featuring North American companies whose work is headed to the legendary Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer.

In the closest thing to Festival Fringe this side of the Atlantic, 'East to Edinburgh' returns to 59E59, giving a selection of North American shows the opportunity to fine-tune their acts. As in Edinburgh, the programming is not curated, the technical elements are kept to minimum, and all shows begin promptly at their advertised time. Featured shows include: 'Bette Davis Ain't For Sissies,' 'Cosmonaut,' 'Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet as performed by David Carl,' and 'Tar Baby.'

Ambitious, Absorbing, Edgy, Great acting, Great writing

See it if choosing "Derby Day" by Samuel Brett Williams, a stark, unflinching look at 3 broken brothers on the funeral day of the father who beat them

Don't see it if intense, no-holds-barred family dramas that expose all the hurt a parent can inflict are not for you.
