"Moving story of a flight from persecution...vivid storytelling...powerful production" **** The List "Superbly crafted and involving piece of drama" ***** Scotsgay "Imaginative...absolutely riveting to watch. We were moved." Gay Times "ELEGY does what theatre at its best can do, make great events personal. We are thereby moved far more than any story about an abstract evil in a far off place. Go see it!" War journalist Marie Colvin (Sunday Times). "If you are in Edinburgh you have to see this show because it is the best thing I have ever seen in Edinburgh. Profoundly moving and brilliant theatre making. Go! Now!" Audience member facebook comment Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, homophobic murders in the country have increased steeply, with reported figures of more than 700 individuals killed. Fusing storytelling, music and visual poetry and inspired by real events, Elegy is a moving story of love, loss and exile. Directed by Douglas Rintoul (TRANSPORT, Barbican, Dundee Rep, Complicite), performed by Jamie Bradley (Complicte, Kneehigh, Fevered Sleep) and music by award winning composer Raymond Yiu.
