What's on

As ever, we were delighted to work with a roster of brilliant artists and shows this August for yet another non-stop Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Coming to us from all over the globe, our 2025 artists included expert comedians, international acrobats, experimental dancers, rising theatre makers, innovative new writers, skilled clowns, passionate musicians, world-class martial artists, cabaret stars, technological creatives, immersive storytellers – and everything wonderful and imaginative in between.

Their shows took us to the heart of Palestine and its people; through the space-race and intimate stories of pregnancy loss; into the last launderette on the Isle of Wight; around the edge of a lonely swimming pool in Saudi Arabia; through surrealist imaginings of ‘Edutainment’ and a fisherman’s curious one-night tale of rare true love; towards living on Mars and futuristic immigration exam requirements; in amongst the seams of beautiful sung and spoken life stories; under the skin of electro-muscle stimulation and dystopian bodies moving in sync as one; and to sit down at a very special Burns Supper table with the historic Bard himself.

2025 was a very busy year for our team – and we couldn’t be prouder to play a role in bringing so many wonderful stories to life on stage. Whether reuniting with old friends and returning artists, or building beautiful new multidisciplinary global connections, it is always a joy to see our offices brimming with life every summer for the world’s biggest gathering of performance, artistic companionship, and never-ending creative collaboration.
