City drama group on TV

the Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group is to feature in a new TV programme showcasing the UKs best amateur theatre groups. It will appear in “Stagestruck” after receiving the highest number of public votes in an online poll for its performance of Shakespeare’s Edward II. The group will be one of eight finalists to appear in the series on Sky Arts next summer.

The series will see the finalists compete against one another, with one knocked out of the contest each week. The winners will perform their play in London’s West End.
