Edinburgh Fringe: Overtone

About Edinburgh Fringe: Overtone

When two teenagers meet after choir practice, they begin the most important relationship of their lives.

From Fringe First award-winning theatre-maker Tom Brennan (The Wardrobe Ensemble) comes an intimate, funny and unflinching new play about love and getting older – the adventures we were promised, the choices we think we made, and the cost of finally being honest.

Presented by double Fringe First award-winner The North Wall (Brown Boys Swim, E8) in association with Humphrey Battcock.
