Have a Ball in Edinburgh, String Cheese Theatre! You have a terrific show on your hands.

“Perfectly adequate.”

Others might know it better as Button House from BBC TV’s Ghosts.

The Stone Chamber, West Horsley Place. We know that Henry VIII walked on these flagstones.

Calm before a Surrey storm? We can but hope…

An extraordinarily responsive audience at the International Medieval Theatre Festival in Fribourg. Bravo!

Heaving. Hot. Hexpectant.

Calm before a Swiss storm.

“In digging out these forgotten texts, and exploring the confluence of child actors and ancient drama, Edward’s Boys have created both a unique window on the past and a vibrant theatrical style for the present.” Peter Kessler, Magdalen College Oxford

“Edward's Boys provided an evening in London that was so enjoyable the first time, I had to go and see it again in Oxford!” Professor Anthony Musson, Historic Royal Palaces

And from Christ Church Oxford.

Proud to say that loyalty to the company has always played a big part. Ex-players were at every performance. This is from the Charterhouse, London.
