Eavesdropping

Part of the Walk This Play® series by ThickSkin, in association with the Traverse Theatre.

Don your headphones and get ready to eavesdrop in this latest solo audio experience from ThickSkin. Celebrating the stories and people who are the heartbeat and spirit of Edinburgh, Eavesdropping asks who gets to define a city, who gets to be it’s guide and who’s story matters.

Eavesdropping takes audiences on an adventure through familiar and unfamiliar streets of Scotland’s capital, revealing new sides to and stories of the people who (may) live here. This location-based walking audio play by Hannah Lavery and Sarah MacGillivray, the latest in ThickSkin’s Walk This Play® series, will encourage audiences to look differently at the rich tapestry of people you may walk past every day, whether you notice them or not.

A 70 MINUTE WALKING EXPERIENCE IN EDINBURGH

Suitable for ages 14+

REVIEWS

**** – The Guardian.
“It does, though, build a vivid collage of the life around us. Written with wit and imagination by Hannah Lavery and Sarah MacGillivray…slickly put together by director Jonnie Riordan, with a heightened sound design by Finn Anderson, it makes for a colourful walk in the company of strangers.”
