00:00Each of you is a model, a small world of possibility, a moment of connection, a fragile fleeting universe of light and energy.
00:15Hi, my name is Anthony Alderson. I'm the director of the place.
00:18It takes about a year to put each one together. I reckon it takes probably six months to tidy it all up.
00:24So they sort of overlap. People find us, we try and find them, and yeah, it's a lot of work.
00:31It's an awful lot of emails, a lot of very dedicated people that kind of put it together.
00:35So it's wonderful. It's really wonderful to be launching again.
00:38Oh, I think you always take something back. It's almost impossible not to.
00:42I mean, every year I see something which changes my way of thinking, my way of thinking of the world.
00:47So I think it's almost impossible not to take something, whatever that might be.
00:52There are so many great pieces of work. It would be unfair of me to sort of point one out.
00:58I mean, I'm really proud that The Young Pleasance is celebrating 13 years.
01:02Our Charlie Harthill Fund, which supports theatre and comedy, is, I think, 20 years old.
01:09So actually, there is a huge amount of things to see.
01:12There really is something for everyone, from children to adults. There's something for everybody.
