What Jimmy Page says about the company -
'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'
| News Our 10th year birthday will be taking place at the Riverside Studios Hammersmith on Wednesday 25th November. Although the bill hasn't been finalised yet we expect it to be a great night with many special guests.... Phil Fox has been nominated for a Community Champion award for West London. The ceremony is on Thursday 11th June. Fingers crossed. This year for treatment centres and rehabs we are presenting a new play A High Price To Pay - 'When your an addict in recovery and your backs against the wall you sometimes end up doing things you wish you had never done. Ever'. A High Price To Pay is going to be one of the best treatment centre productions we've ever done - Phil Fox. |
