Beachy Head charts the ripple effects of one man's decision to take his life, as those left behind search for answers and understanding. Fusing text, 3D animation, object manipulation and physical performance, Beachy Head is the follow up to the Analogue's award-winning Edinburgh 2007 debut Mile End.

I saw this production, same company but a different cast in the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. I think it was in April, but I have no problems saying it was the best thing I saw there for the whole academic year.
