potential, find an identity and build
skills and confidence.

'I am delighted and proud to be a supporter
of The Outside Edge Theatre Company.
They manage, under the guidance of Phil
Fox, to produce artistically excellent work
that challenges and entertains audiences at
the same time as making a real difference.
They demonstrate the very real capacity of
live performance to positively transform
shattered lives. Edge's work with addicts -
and the ways in which their performances
awaken audiences and provoke debate - is
quite simply stunning'
