Script in Hand at Edinburgh Fringe

Writer/Director: Sean Gregory

Producers: Rosie Scott, Jo Smart

Technical Director: Joel Clements

Performers: Paul Warriner, Stewart Lockwood

1933: the Nazis force Paul Renner, typographer and creator of Futura font, into internal exile.

2012: a theatre company, who shall not be named, do the same their leading man.

There was meant to be a play. About Paul Renner. About typeface. Historicism. The Weimar. The rise of mechanization. Nazis. The future. But this play does not exist.

The performance that should have been his making has become his undoing. This is his chance to explain where it all went wrong. Script in Hand is the story of two forgotten men.
