This Side of Life @ Edinburgh Fringe – Welfare Officer
17:40, Wed 30th July – Sun 17th August 2025 at C Venues Aquila Temple - Edinburgh Fringe
Manhattan island. The swinging 60's. The Golden Age of Broadway.
Nina and Robert are buskers with dreams of the big stage. Singing their hearts out on the streets, they hope it's only a matter of time before a big name notices them.
On the other side of the pond, Jack and Ernie are two Cockney lads in the marketing business. Seeing the New York boom, they take the plunge and head to the New World in search of fortune. Enticed by the city, they blow their savings on gambling booze and other unsavoury habits, leaving them bare. Penniless and somewhat talentless, they hatch a plan to con their way to the top.
The couple, entangled in this rotten scheme, are soon to find that money is the biggest speaker, and some dreams just aren’t meant to be.

Pleasance Charlie Hartill Shortlist 2025
In 2014, the UK’s first legalised red-light district opened in the Holbeck area of Leeds. Sex workers in Holbeck were able to operate with police supervision and without fear of arrest between the hours of 8pm-6am. This initiative was known as the Managed Approach. Managed Approach, the stage play, merges verbatim interview material into a plotline that portrays the dynamic between a mother and daughter who live in Holbeck.
