Summerhall Festival Programme 2018

FESTIVAL PROGRAMME 2018

01 -26 August 2018 / VENUE 26

We launch Summerhall’s 8th festival into an unpredictable and challenging world. Our programme brings together a diverse group of artists who are doing their best to make sense of what’s going on. By making work about what matters, they give us a reason to gather together, to support and learn from each other and to celebrate human creativity and connection. Please join us for another festival of enquiry, engagement and excitement.

Verity Leigh, Festival Programme Manager

AUGUST 2018

“Summerhall isn’t just an extraordinary place to see theatre with a programme of unequalled dimension, but a village, a community, a place to feel – however fancifully – that you belong, among all the madness.”
