Denton and Me

Last year I wrote the music and sound for Sam Rowe's intimate and beautiful one man show Denton and Me. This week begins a 24 day run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It plays each day at Summerhall at 3:05 and runs approx 75min. To tempt you along please view the trailer below and read more about it on the Summerhall website.

1944: Fastidious diarist Denton Welch writes with astonishing honesty about his obsession for reckless land-boy Eric. 2011: A young writer is given the diaries by a family friend and discovers echos of his own life within. This multi-layered, stunningly designed show weaves together writer/performer Sam Rowe's autobiography with the writing of Denton Welch (1915-1948), a fascinating figure in queer and literary history, and a favourite of Alan Bennett, William S. Burroughs and John Waters. A powerful, moving and humorous production, in collaboration with some of Scotland's most exciting theatrical talent. Follows success at The Arches (2015). Adapted and performed by Sam Rowe Directed by Nicolas Bone Designed by Colin O'Hara Sound design and composition by Scott Twynholm Lighting by Neil Foulis (Summerhall) / George Cort (The Arches) www.dentonandme.com Part of the Made In Scotland showcase www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com Presented by Sam Rowe Theatre and Macrobert Arts Centre in association with showroom.
