New North East theatre company are heading to Edinburgh Fringe - but they need your help

A talented group of young women are set to take the stage at the Edinburgh Fringe after starting out in their home of the North East.

Rosie Bowden, Rowan Miller and Caitlin Fairlamb first met on the Project A actor training course at Newcastle’s Theatre Royal. The trio decided to come together to make their own show at the start of this year, after discovering a shared passion for stories with women’s voices and a sense of community at their heart.

Their debut offering, Head Girl, was first shown at Live Theatre’s Elevator Festival before travelling to The Central Bar in Gateshead. The coming-of-age story follows Becca as she runs for the position of head girl at school, navigating the trials and tribulations of being a woman in the 21st century from ‘girl boss’ mentality to practising self-care.
