CROSSFADE Theatre are a Glasgow-based theatre company who specialise in staging small-scale productions of original work and contemporary texts, in particular pieces that highlights issues related to mental health. We aim to tackle the stigma of mental health issues, shed light on topics that you don't often see staged, and encourage young people to open up about their own experiences.
Our first full project is a production of A Bench at the Edge by award-winning American playwright Luigi Jannuzzi. The play is a two-hander that explores ideas surrounding suicide, death, and the abyss - what drives people to the edge, and what makes them want to keep on living.

Winner! Samuel French Off Off Broadway Festival

Praise for Luigi Jannuzzi and A Bench at the Edge:
NY Theatre: "Jannuzzi brings quirky, imaginative perspective."
Los Angeles Times: "Pretention is avoided with ingenious narrative turns and electric repartee."
Dramalogue: "Dialogue riddled with humour and empathy for the human condition and the decisions of life and death. [A Bench at the Edge] is a fine piece of writing."
