Edinburgh Fringe Hit BIT OF SUNSHINE to Transfer to Theatre503

Following on from a tremendously successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where critics called the play "astounding" and "brave", Best Play award-winner Bit of Sunshine is transferring to London's Theatre503 for two nights only.

Bloody Deeds Productions and KILTER have teamed up with Theatre503 to present Nicole Zweiback's penetrating one-woman tour de force on Sunday 25th and Monday 26th September at 8pm. Writer and performer Nicole Zweiback said; "I'm so thrilled to be working with a theatre whose work I admire so much. Theatre503 is the perfect London home for this piece of new writing, and we are so grateful for their support."

In July, Bit of Sunshine won Best Play at the LOST Theatre One Act Festival, and from there it was performed for a week at the Edinburgh Fringe where it received no less than five four-star reviews, and also passed the Bechdel Theatre test for women in theatre. Paul Vale, critic for The Stage, described it as "fascinating... an accomplished piece of theatre."

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. Bit of Sunshine is a harrowing story about coming of age in a world obsessed with the struggle for perfection.

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. KILTER is a collaborative theatre company formed by Ed Theakston and Katie Coull to make confronting theatre that responds to and seeks to change the world around us.
