Sinking Horses was supported by the Tom McGrath Trust, Leith Links Community Council and the City of Edinburgh Council's Performing Arts Fund.
It was performed over five days at Leith Theatre as part of Hidden Door Festival and over two days at Leith Police Box as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival.
