First Light is a multi-disciplinary show that combines the experience of award-winning Fringe performers, with a community of young people who would never otherwise access theatre. Performed to a live cinematic soundscape, this show shares the story of survivors, in a raw, funny and emotional way that reminds us all of the importance of living, and is never the same twice.
Written by Edinburgh playwright and therapist Claire Milne, presented in collaboration with the Tribe collective who are based in the warehouse communities and canalsides of East London, produced by Shambles Productions.

Shambles Productions brings new and seasoned performers together to tell true stories of thriving in tough times. We use techniques from ensemble theatre, ritual practice and the therapy room to take performers through their own personal journey through engaging with the script. We measure outcomes based on the quality of the play, and the difference the process makes to the lives of the performers. Shambles Productions is based between Edinburgh, Scotland and the Hackney Wick warehouse district, East London. @shamblesplay https://www.facebook.com/shamblesplay/
