Liam Quinn, a member of the Theatre Group, talks about his
experience with Edge.
Having used quite a number of the services available in the Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham and after finishing the day program in Munster
Road I started going to evening classes with the Outside Edge Theatre
Company. I found myself amongst like minded people, got a lot of support
but most of all it has been great fun.
After gaining some basic acting skills I got to play my first role in front of
an audience. I played a single parent father of a teenage girl in a seaside
resort who had just been made redundant and had no prospects of
finding new employment. It was very challenging, but also extremely
rewarding as I became more disciplined and was able to move on to
further roles. Secondly, I played a character called James who was a
slippery con man. After James I continued down hill to end up as Ricky the
junkie pimp, which I also helped write and produce. Am I getting typecast?
All of these plays were performed in different rehabs and day centers,
around the country. I found it beneficial, bringing the message to other
drug addicts and alcoholics.
I have nothing but praise for the team of people involved in Outside Edge
in helping me on my road to recovery and helping me get my self-respect
back.
I can warmly recommend the Outside Edge drama group as a great
service for self-discovery and just sheer enjoyment.
The Outside Edge Theatre Group is based at Munster Road. If you want
to check it out just go along. That’s what I did.
