A big thank you to everyone who came and saw 2401 Objects in Edinburgh - It has been an absolutely incredible year for Analogue up at the festival!
Our last show on 28th August was followed by a very special Q&A event entitled 'The Man Behind the Brain'. Organised in association with the University of Edinburgh and supported by Wellcome Trust, we heard presentations from Professor Richard Morris, Neuroscientist at the Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems who met Henry Molaison in his lifetime, and Dr Jacopo Annese, the neuroscientist who cut HM's brain into 2401 slices, who joined us via live Skype link from The Brain Observatory in San Diego. Attended by over 150 people, we organised the event to allow audiences the opportunity to ask questions that emerged out of watching the performance. The event was filmed and we will make the edited video available online very soon.
Having returned from Scotland just a few days ago, we are already in Exeter where the show has been invited to be part of a new and exciting annual conference entitled Isolated Acts at the University of Exeter on 2nd September.
2401 Objects is due to tour in Spring 2012, but for now here is a brief round-up of how the show was received up at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011...
Winner of a Fringe First 2011

'2401 Objects is a solid, well-researched piece of theatre that adds to Analogue's ever-growing canon of work.' Total Theatre Magazine
'It's understandable why Analogue's production was nearly sold out on the afternoon I saw it. 2401 Objects is a fine piece of theatre that breaks down the barriers of science as something to be understood by those who studied it. The story of Henry Molaison is fascinating, ad Analogue presents it with tender care and imagination. A must see for people looking for a more defined production at this year's Edinburgh Festival.'
