THE PROJECT
Bushel / Barrel / Tun is raising £10k to present the world premiere of Stephanie Neuerburg’s adaptation of Gail Carson Levine’s classic young adult novel ELLA ENCHANTED at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, directed by Frankie Regalia. The bulk of money raised will fund our venue costs & allow our company to fully house a cast & crew of 8 in Edinburgh for the entire month of August.
THE BUDGET
Our minimum goal is £5,000. With this money, we can reserve our performance slot in the That Studio, a 50-seat black box theatre at the Edinburgh Fringe’s coveted Pleasance Courtyard. The Pleasance is the most highly attended venue at the Fringe, guaranteeing our show will reach its largest audience. This will also ensure a 6-performance run at the Colour House Theatre in London. The Colour House is a petite space on the river, where we will preview our show to a devoted audience of children and adults.
Our ideal goal is £10,000, which will allow us not only to achieve the above goals, but also make it possible for BBT to provide housing free of charge to our actors and crew for the entire month of August. A group of 8 actors, from a myriad of countries & backgrounds, will be devoting 3 months of their lives to bringing this production to life, & it is one of BBT’s highest priorities to provide them with a place to live in Scotland for the duration of the festival.
At both levels, any left over funds will go directly towards production costs, including costumes and props; promotional material; & will allow us to compensate all of our associate artists, including our photographer and composer.
WHO WE ARE
Bushel / Barrel / Tun is an internationally-based theatre company focused on telling stories centered on the female experience. We are so excited to bring BBT & Ella Enchanted to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a decades-old theatre event which gathers artists from all over the world to meet, share stories, & change lives. While the Fringe often showcases avant-garde, mature, and even bizarre performance, BBT is so thrilled to be bringing a show that will address & entertain both young audiences & seasoned theatre-goers alike.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC; the Oregon Shakespeare Festival; Seattle Public Theater; Island Shakespeare Festival; Ashland New Plays Festival; Livermore Shakespeare Festival; and Eugene O’Neill’s Tao House.

THE STORY
When the fairy Lucinda curses Ella with the “gift” of obedience, Ella sets out on a journey to save herself — fighting ogres, meeting giants, & trying to avoid her wicked stepsisters, Hattie and Olive. But when Ella finds herself tangled in a possible romance with the crown prince Charmont, her curse makes things even more difficult — does she accept his proposal & endanger the kingdom, or break her own heart & let him go? Ella Enchanted is a sometimes frightening, ultimately ultimately story of a young woman who gains freedom through the power of love.
