Negative Capability

Eh To E8 – Crypted/Excess

Freddy Syborn

Directed by: Negative Capability

CRYPTED

Crypted tells the story of Alan Turing, the mathematician who cracked the Enigma code during the Second World War, and who ended his life having been arrested and chemically castrated by the state.

“Stunning… this wonderful, emotive play is captivating and razor-sharp. Harriet Green gives a captivating performance as Alan Turing… An unheralded gem.”
THE SCOTSMAN ★★★★

EXCESS

In Excess, a brother and sister meet again after a catastrophic falling out. Joe wants to tell Isla his news: he’s having a sex change. But Isla can’t accept this. She can’t accept anything any more.

“A commanding, dark and intelligently amusing piece from a truly gifted young theatremaker. It takes on a tricky subject and invests it with not just living, breathing humanity, but also an innate sense of the inexplicable contradictions people represent.”
THE SCOTSMAN ★★★★

Freddy Syborn is “one of the stars of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe” (The Independent).
