1927's first production was Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea at the Battersea Arts Centre in London and the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007.[5] At the Edinburgh Fringe it won a Scotsman Fringe First Award, the Herald Angel Award, the Total Theatre Award for Best Emerging Company, and the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award.[6]
