KILTER's BIT OF SUNSHINE Heads to Edinburgh Fringe

Direct from winning Best Play at the LOST Theatre One Act Festival 2016, Bloody Deeds and KILTER are excited to be able to announce that Nicole Zweiback's new one-woman play Bit of Sunshine will have six performances only at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, 22nd to 27th August.

"My disease, it's like a drug. You feel it deep down, and once you're hooked it never leaves you. But I want everything I touch... to turn to gold."

Kira is the perfect teenager. Kira wants to go to Oxford. But her eating disorder shatters everything in her path. In this poignant, raw and honest new play a young girl explores what it's like growing up with mental illness and the lifelong struggle of addiction. A dark comedy about coming of age in a world obsessed with the struggle for perfection.

Paul Vale, theatre critic for The Stage, called the piece "fascinating... an accomplished piece of theatre" after its performance at the LOST Theatre last month.

Bloody Deeds Productions was created by a group of young women that discovered a need for a collaboration that defied the (still) heavily male dominated profession, where all too often women merely act as a talking prop for their male co-stars. After being formed at East 15 Acting School, London, by Ed Theakston and Katie Coull, this is KILTER's debut production and they are proud to be making it with Bloody Deeds.

This is a one-woman show, conceived, written, and performed by Nicole Zweiback. Directed by Katie Coull and Ed Theakston, with an original score by Dylan Allcock.

WINNER of BEST PLAY at the LOST Theatre One Act Festival 2016. Katie Coull and Ed Theakston were 'highly commended' for their direction.
