 KCS Theatre Company will be taking an adaptation of Herman Melville’s tale of Billy Budd, The Handsome Sailor to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August.KCS Theatre Company was founded in 1993 by Philip Swan when he took Pirandello’s Man Beast and Virtue to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This was the first time that the school had performed at Edinburgh. It was a remarkable success gaining front page coverage in the Scotsman and a five star review. KCS Theatre Company was to gain another six five star reviews from the Scotsman in succession and even a West End transfer of Never The Sinner - the only school company ever to perform commercially for three weeks in London’s West End. It is fitting that KCS Theatre Company goes back to the same venue (C too) this year for Philip’s last Edinburgh production with the company in its present form. James Wood plays the title role and other key roles will be played by Julius Colwyn-Foulkes, Tom Stevenson, Ben Thompson and William Mendelowitz – all members of the first GCSE Drama cohort.
