The End of Eddy

This summer, works by five former Fellows will be featured at festivals in Edinburgh, including the International Festival, Book Festival and Festival Fringe. Tickets are available now for all events.

 

Edinburgh International Festival:

The End of Eddy is adapted by Pamela Carter (2012 IASH-Traverse Creative Fellow) at the Festival Theatre Studio from 21 to 26 August. This new stage adaptation of Édouard Louis’ acclaimed autobiographical novel En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule tells the unflinching story of a boy growing up in poverty.
