Success at the Edinburgh Fringe for Rebecca Hill[2008]

We were in touch earlier this year in regards to the fundraising for my theatre production Travesti, which I was hoping to take to Edinburgh Festival over the summer.

We reached our target and went beyond, raising a total of £4,100 through crowd funding and we received private sponsorship from Eve Ensler (author of The Vagina Monologues) which meant we were able to financially support the production to get to Edinburgh Festival. I just wanted to let you know the good news that we played the entire festival to sell-out audiences, and were awarded a ThreeWeeks Editor’s Choice award and a prestigious Fringe First Award from The Sctosman.

My producer and I couldn’t be there for the length of the festival due to work (I am now Director in Residence at the Almeida Theatre in Islington) but I have attached a picture of us with the awards when our cast members brought them back for us.

Thank you for your support in helping us get there. We really appreciate it.

Best,

Rebecca
