An attempted change in perspective, a quick narrowing focus, a capturing of a moment. ‘Out of the Lens’ is a new musical, a world premiere in fact, that focuses on two characters attempting to find and define themselves within their own realities. The initial connection is made at a coffee shop, and progresses into a work related photoshoot, through which a relationship develops between the two men. Andrew Walker and Guy Woolf star in this two hander as two young men from vastly different backgrounds. Guy gives a natural and charming performance as Joseph, while Andrew’s singing dominates his performance. A story of friendship, of overcoming prejudice, and of acceptance; a new production with promising performers.

Sweet Grassmarket, until Aug 24.
