Get ready for a fun, reflective night in by yourself, performing your own solo theatre show, with your own personal soundtrack. In Deliverance, a person arrives at your door with an envelope. Inside is your script - a set of instructions that you will follow for the next 90 minutes. You’ll dress up, you’ll dance, you’ll pose in the mirror, you'll even receive a phone call from a stranger, but don’t worry, no one will be watching but you. Described as ‘like a mindfulness exercise crossed with a dressing-up-box game’ (Guardian), Deliverance was a big hit during lockdown. This is the first time it is being brought to festival audiences in Edinburgh. The show is LIVE and happens on the day of your booking within a 3 hour timeslot - a more specific time is given on the day. It takes about 1.5-2 hrs and should start as soon as you receive your delivery. In other words your booking is a ticket for a specific show at a specific time. Please be ready to receive the delivery at the time we give. We can’t change your booking within 24 hours of your time slot. The show is made for you to enjoy in your home, by yourself - please consider that you will want privacy and time to enjoy the show and inform other people in your household if necessary. You need access to several things within your home, such as your bathroom and your wardrobe during the show. You will need your phone at one point (and that sweet spot that gets the signal).

About Traverse Theatre
We are the Traverse - champion of stories and storytellers. The stories we share are by anyone and for everyone. As Scotland’s new writing theatre, the Traverse Theatre is a dynamic centre for performance, experience and discovery. Enabling people across society to access and engage with theatre is our fundamental mission. Our year-round programme bursts with new stories and live performances that challenge, inform and entertain. We empower artists and audiences to make sense of the world today, providing a safe space to question, learn, empathise and – crucially – encounter different people and experiences. Conversation and the coming together of groups are central to a democratic society, and we champion equal expression and understanding. We commission, produce and programme for existing and future audiences to offer new and exciting experiences for everyone, and our partnerships with other theatre companies and festivals enable us to present a wide range of innovative performances. The Traverse would not exist without our over-arching passion for talent development and embracing the unexplored. We work with the newest and rawest talent – with an emphasis on the Scottish-based – nurturing it to become the art, artists and performances that can be seen on our stages through a variety of creative learning and literary programmes. The timely, powerful stories that start life on our stages have a global impact, resulting in dozens of tours, productions and translations. We are critically acclaimed and recognised the world over for our originality and artistic risk, which we hope will create some of the most talked-about plays, productions, directors, writers and actors for years to come.
