The Performers

Frantic Redhead Productions performed two "walking plays" during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2007.  For these plays, the audience followed the cast around the streets and closes of Edinburgh.  The plays were:

- Macbeth, (The Scottish Play) has been performed here  for many years.

- Sherlock Holmes Murder in the Gardens is a world premier in 2007.

I felt that Edinburgh made an ideal backdrop to productions such as these.

Frantic Redhead's Producer, Ginger Perkins of Los Angeles, has been presenting theatre, music, dance and art at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the past twenty-five years.   However, 2007 is to be her final year in this role.
