Lung Ha at 40: Spotlight on… Matthew Frame
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Lung Ha Theatre Company, All Edinburgh Theatre is delighted to collaborate with the award-winning professional company for actors and theatre makers who are autistic or learning-disabled.
Lung Ha have marked the occasion by commissioning a series of portraits of every member of its 25-strong ensemble from Edinburgh-based photographer Peter Dibdin. Æ will publish the individual portraits over the coming year of celebrations (see our News story: Lung Ha hit 40). We are publishing a new spotlight on a different actor every fortnight.

40 years is a big milestone during which we look back but also look ahead! What are your hopes or ambitions for the future? Having the opportunity to do more shows with Lung Ha. Being part of the company has helped me me so much in improving my confidence and my acting skills.
