EDINBURGH FRINGE 2018
11-26 August

We are VERY excited to announce the four shows we will be taking to the Fringe this summer!

A & E
BY PETER FOGARTY

A&E is a high octane clowning comedy show following a working night in the accident and emergency department – through the medical procedures, the financial cuts, high pressure conditions, and the Friday night crowd. First time practitioners and experienced professionals all have to muck in at the deep end, solving whatever comes through the door as quickly and safely as possible. Understaffed and underpaid, working overtime and overtired, the clock is ticking on just another day in the hospital.

Preview: 6pm, Thursday 2nd August, Pinter Studio

RAT RACE
BY EILIS PRICE

Rat Race is a dark tragicomedy set in a rat cage that is at the center of a badly handled experiment. Kenneth is just a PhD student doing his best, how is he supposed to know that his three lab rats are going through existential crises? The rats are trying to get on with their work in peace, but they are disrupted by a new occupant in the cage; an occupant who makes them think about their purpose for the first time. The play addresses capitalism, the modern worker, consumer culture and of course, rats.

SAME OLD, SAME OLDIES
BY MARISSA LANDY

What do you get when you place three Northerners and three Southerners in one nursing home? 
A bloody barney!
Brimming with awkward disputes and one particular loud mouth amongst the group, these oldies always find something to complain about. A cup of tea may define you in this house. Within this ‘day in the life of’ story, there is an absurd twist making these people not quite what they seem. Sit back, relax and watch the shenanigans unfold.

Deadline
​By THYRZA ABRAHAMS

Imagine knowing when you're going to die, exactly when you're going to die. It would make you live your life to the fullest, right? In a world lacking resources, everything hinges on your date – because well, if you're not going to be around long enough to benefit the state then why should it help you? 
But a small group is trying to make a change, hiding not in the shadows but in plain sight. Trying to save a world that doesn’t know they exist. But one question is always on their minds, is it really worth it? 

Preview: ​6pm, Friday 3rd August, Pinter Studio
