A NORTH-EAST theatre company for people with learning difficulties will perform at the Edinburgh Festival.

Sunderland-based No Limits, most of whose members have Downs Syndrome, will make its third visit to the festival's fringe next month.

It will perform Attic, which is about the search for memories lost in tragic circumstances.

The group, formed in 1995, has staged the piece, which includes contemporary dance, to appreciative audiences throughout the country.

A spokesman said: "The company aims to challenge people's perceptions by producing high quality work and aiming to break down barriers between disabled and non-disabled people.

"Always innovative, the company's current production has been especially praised for its skilful dancing performances.

"It has already played to audiences in Northern Ireland and on tour in Huddersfield and Uley, Gloucestershire.''
