WHO WE ARE

Asterglow Theatre is a new international company centred on new writing, storytelling, and education through performance. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Washington, DC, we aim to support theatre made, centred on, and led by people of marginalized genders. Focusing on creating accessible, relatable performances, we seek to foster a sense of wonder for our audience and build a creative and healthy environment for those in our company and involved with our workshops. With original plays and workshops that explore innovative forms of storytelling and share under prioritised perspectives, we hope to remind audiences of the impact of stories and the power of connecting with each other.

NEVER NONE (BUT SHE)
AT THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE 2019

'Once upon a time, a girl saw every star in the sky disappear.' 

As folktales collide with modern day, Pan, Lilla, and Tansy find themselves immersed in darkness. They struggle to start down an unworn path and rewrite their endings. With their lives intertwined, they learn to depend on each other and their own inner power, transforming themselves and the world beyond their imagination.

 

Embark on an adventure of resilience. Of dark days and bright nights. Of sowing planets and sewing stars in the sky. Generations of hurts and hopes merge in this tapestry of tales.

Written by Dyan Rizzo-Busack
