New York, it’s time for some civil disobedience!

That's right. Three of the amazing shows we're producing at the Edinburgh Fringe this season are currently in the midst of (or about to launch into) previews at the 59e59 Theatres' East to Edinburgh festival in New York City. It's a great opportunity to catch the shows before they hit the largest open access arts festival in the world for their European premieres, and support these brilliant artists. Get your tickets now, while there's still time.

Musicians and chorus wanted: Sasquatch, The Opera

Roddy Bottum (film composer and founding member of rock group Faith No More) is debuting a new, experimental work, Sasquatch, The Opera, at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Produced by Civil Disobedience, it will be playing a full run at Summerhall this August and we're currently casting for musicians and chorus members.

Wir lieben dich, Hans!

What do you get if you take an exceptionally tall Australian bloke, put him in a pair of sequin-spangled hot pants, cake him in makeup, and hand him an accordion? You could be forgiven for guessing a male rugby player on his stag night - but the answer we're looking for is ultra-sassy, faux-German, Fringe pop sensation Hans.
