Following the staging of a new version Godber’s Teechers by Ned’s Company in November 2010, Teechers transferred to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer in a Young Pleasance production for a two-week run from mid-August at one of the Fringe’s most high profile and p
restigious venues. 30 young people including 15 boys from Dulwich were in the company. They rose to the challenge of an intensive and rigorous rehearsal and performance schedule with flair, professionalism and unfailing good humour, despite monsoon-like conditions for most of the duration of our stay in Scotland.
During the Festival competition for audience and media exposure is fierce (the average Fringe audience is seven) yet they played regularly to audiences of 200 + and received critical praise from the national media.
