About Active Inquiry Presents: Platformed
New play from Active Inquiry where host of characters must confront the question of who best represents Edinburgh whilst protecting their secret at all costs.
The warehouse is normally a quiet place where the statues of Edinburgh can rest. But the arrival of a new tenant and some shady characters means that The Great Lafayette, Sherlock Holmes, Cowboy Joe and others can no longer stay in their sculpted poses. They must confront the question of who best represents Edinburgh whilst protecting their secret at all costs.
Devised by the cast, written by Duncan Kidd and directed by Gavin Crichton.
