Live illustration to draw in families at new free theatre show at
Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Hero, a new family show which uses liveĀ illustration to share a fantastical adventure story tackling depression,Ā premieres at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August.

HeroesĀ Theatreā€™s new production combines a fully scored audiobook adventure with colourfulĀ artwork. Georgie Mac paints brilliant characters and scenes from a new story inĀ front of audiences.

Hero is an uplifting show that uses fantasy toĀ address issues about anxiety, depression and learning to live with sadĀ thoughts. The show follows the adventures of Cavalier, a young boy plagued by
nightmares, who lives at sea on a ship that never moves. Hero celebrates creativity and storytelling as a method ofĀ confronting difficult emotions.

Hero features a newly composed score by singer/songwriter Ross Clark, previously of ThreeĀ Blind Wolves who recently toured China with childrenā€™s theatre company FrozenĀ Charlotte.

Hero is the second collaboration between artist/performerĀ Georgie Mac and director/writer Eve Nicol. The pair previously unleashed their childrenā€™sĀ show The Undiscovered Creature atĀ Imaginate and Belladrum festivals in 2016.

Georgie Mac, creator and performer of Hero said :Ā ā€œIā€™m excited to share myĀ love of drawing with audiences. Thereā€™s something special about sharing aĀ fantasy story that tackles tricky human emotions in such an imaginative way. Hero makes plenty of room forĀ emotional reflection, without shirking on creative expression, and I canā€™t wait
to bring it to a family audience at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.ā€

Hero plays as part of PBH Free Fringe for the duration of the EdinburghĀ Festival Fringe.

Heroes Theatre are a Glasgow-basedĀ company who showcase the words of the greatest modern playwrights and bold newĀ voices to explore the dark and difficult parts of being human.
