NDT at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2019

11 July 2019

This year we've got a relationship with 22 shows going up to Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

We're delighted to be running the Untapped Award with Underbelly again. The three winners this year are: Poltergeist Theatre with their existential comedy caper Art Heist, Barrel Organ with their larger-than-life take on conspiracy theories CONSPIRACY and Burnt Lemon Theatre with their rap-packed musical Tokyo Rose.

Two of the three 2018 Untapped Award winners are returning to the Fringe for limited runs as part of the British Council Showcase. Don't miss Breach Theatre's It's True, It's True, It's True or dressed. by ThisEgg.

Four of our Emerging Companies 2019/2020 are taking up shows:

Ugly Bucket bring you 2 Clowns 1 Cup - an extra physical piece of physical theatre about sex (Warning: You will get wet).
Spies Like Us bring you Murder on the Dancefloor - a jet-black comedy with a brilliant title.
Lagahoo Productions bring you Splintered - a theatre-cabaret of rebellion and empowerment, celebrating being queer and being Caribbean.
Quick Duck Theatre bring you Yours Sincerely - a queer coming-of-age comedy about the complications of 21st-century communication.

Our 2018/19 season was our most succesful yet and one of the cornerstones of that season was the critically acclaimed production of The War of the Worlds by our Associate Ensemble Rhum & Clay. Our Two Night Stands played to sold out audiences throughout the year and you can catch two of them in Edinburgh. Emergency Chorus present a meditation on forgotten histories and lost futures with Landscape (1989). The Outbound Project bring you an exploration of medical and theatrical storytelling that transcends time in M.E.H.

Fresh from presenting a preview at Incoming Festival you can catch the latest show from multi-award-winning-comedy-geniuses Police Cops: Badass Be Thy Name. Other Incoming picks include: Alongside 2 Clowns 1 Cup Emerging Company 19/20 Ugly Bucket are also performing award winning Bost-Uni Plues, Sh!t Theatre are back with Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum with Expats and Wildcard bring back their sell out hit from Fringe 2018: Electrolyte.

New work we're supporting includes: Smoke and Oakum taking on porn addiction in Such Filthy F*cks, Argonaut Theatre count down to the millenium in 00, Kopfkino return with The Grand Scheme of Things, a deeply personal show about scapegoating and living through revolutionary times and Antler Theatre take us through a day in the life of a woman following a tragic event in Civilisation.

We'll be at Pleasance with our latest in house production The Incident Room by Olivia Hirst and our Artistic Director David Byrne. We go behind the scenes of the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper in the case that broke the British police force.

As always we're on the look out for the best ensemble theatre. Which shows should be on our radar? Get in touch on any of the channels below to send us a recommendation.
