The Project

This summer The King's Players of King's College London are taking a brand new comedy to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - the biggest arts festival in the world. We are performing from the 7th to the 29th of August at the Greenside Mint Studio, and we'll also be performing previews in London at the end of July. This is a really exciting opportunity for everyone involved, but we need your help to make it happen! 

The show

When Mrs Leech (74, Chairman of the Boules Club) dies, she is fortunate enough to be afforded a place in heaven. It isn't long, however, before her busy-body attitude and grey-haired determination get her caught up in a celestial squabble. Whilst forming friendships with a group of dissatisfied angels, Mrs Leech finds herself inadvertently usurping the petulant, spoilt God and sitting on the divine throne herself. Which isn't very comfy - it could do with a pillow.

Where Will the money go?

So, in total we are trying to raise £5505.60 - and so far we've raised £2333.33, including a generous grant from the KCLSU Development Fund. Any donation you can give will help pay towards:

• Venue hire - £2000 + VAT
• Edinburgh Fringe registration fee - £246 + VAT
• Marketing - £200
• Set, props, and costume - £100
• Accommodation - £2560
• Transport - £299.60
• Contingency - £100

Any money raised from donations in Edinburgh will go towards future King's Players productions.
