JL Edinburgh shows scoop Fringe Firsts!

This year Jacksons Lane has co-produced four shows which have journeyed to the north of the UK to take the Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm. We are delighted to announce that two of these have picked up ‘Fringe First’ awards on Fri 12 Aug.

Analogue’s 2401 Objects previewed to a packed house at Jacksons Lane on Wed 27 Jul 2011 before heading up to the festival. The Telegraph gave 2401 Objects four stars and called it “a deeply moving examination of life, death and memory” and we are delighted that their work has been recognised with a ‘Fringe First’.

Blind Summit’s The Table developed over a few months at Jacksons Lane and also previewed here. The Table has just picked up a ‘Fringe First’ and we are thrilled that this talented company has received a plethora of rave reviews. These include five stars from Exuent Magazine and The Public Reviews and four stars from The Telegraph, The List and The Scotsman to name a few.
