The TEAM returns to the Fringe with Architecting, an exhilarating American saga that weaves through the USA’s past and future to create a requiem for modern America. Architecting uses the American Civil War and the subsequent Reconstruction to create a multi-media, time-bending epic where Scarlett O’Hara pageant contestants crash into anarchist architects and presidential grandchildren.

The TEAM is a New York City-based theatre company dedicated to dissecting and celebrating living in America today. In 2006 The TEAM took the festival by storm with Particularly in the Heartland, winner of a Fringe First Award.

This is the first co-production between The TEAM and the National Theatre of Scotland Workshop. Previous Workshop productions includes last year’s Fringe hit and Herald Angel winner, Venus as a Boy.

Architecting is written by The TEAM in collaboration with Davey Anderson, Lucy Kendrick Smith and Nathan Wright. The cast features Jessica Almasy, Frank Boyd, Jill Frutkin, Libby King, Jake Margolin and Kristen Sieh.

YouTube e-trailer for Architecting

Simultaneously intelligent, rueful, celebratory, delightful and devastatingly sad, the show actually lives up to its ambitions. (Time Out New York on Particularly in the Heartland)

The piece’s surreal storyline fizzes with vivid imagery, intellect, and mischief...This is life affirming stuff, and theatre to cherish. (Metro on Particularly in the Heartland)

Perfectly performed, aesthetically and politically complex, this the most profound and complete night at the theatre of the festival so far. (The List on Particularly in the Heartland)
