Edinburgh Fringe Success

A Wakefield College based theatre company have made a triumphant return to Wakefield after scooping a prestigious Fringe Review Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Horizon Arts, based at the Wakefield Arts Centre, beat off competition from 2,000 other performances to win one of only three awards for their production Heroin(e) for Breakfast. The performers have also won an all expenses paid trip to the Adelaide Fringe Festival too.

Horizon Arts was established in the summer of 2003 to create original, provocative and engaging theatre. Based at Wakefield Arts Centre, they began by creating full-scale productions using young actors from the West Yorkshire area. Heroin(e) for Breakfast is the company’s 11th production and their fourth production to tour to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. However it is the first time that the company have returned to Wakefield with two prestigious awards.
