Andy Jordan Productions Ltd presented the world premiere of Worlds End by Paul Sellar at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival at the Pleasance Theatre (Queen Dome) August 4th – 26th, 2007.
One of Dominic Cavendish’s TOP TEN SHOWS in THE DAILY TELEGRAPH at the EDINBURGH FESTIVAL 2007.
MERRYN OWEN - BEST ACTOR nominee for Worlds End, The STAGE AWARD FOR ACTING EXCELLENCE, Edinburgh Festival 2007 (“Merryn Owen gives as raw and powerful a performance as you are likely to see in Edinburgh this year.” Gerard Berkowitz, The Stage).
“Paul Sellar has written a wrenchingly honest, searing drama about a young couple going through an acrimonious break-up; it sounds pedestrian but the characterisation – which, Look Back in Anger-style, pits a biliously witty failing writer against a tender-hearted but thoroughly fed-up female – is bracingly detailed and has a clear, contemporary pulse of its own. Most of us have been there, at some time or other in our lives.”
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, TOP TEN SHOWS AT THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL 2007
Ryan Hawley lands a part in National Theatre's West End transfer smash hit - The History Boys. Ryan left us in 2003 to attend Webber Douglas Academy.
