So let’s see what’s on offer as a great selection of shows go on sale to complete the Pleasance’s fantastic festival programme
The Pleasance is a place for experiences and, this year marks Pleasance’s boldest programme yet. From the funny to the sorrowful, the political to the magical, the Pleasance has always been a place for incredible stories and 2018 takes this tradition to a new level.
The phenomenal theatre programme includes: Revenants by the amazing Nichola McAuliffe which looks at oppression, prejudice and revolution; Terry Johnson’s Ken which comes to its spiritual home in Edinburgh celebrating the life of the maverick writer and theatre director, Ken Campbell; one of the greatest ever interpreters of Brel’s music in Peter Straker Sings Brel; comedian Frank Skinner turning his hand to theatre with his debut play Nina’s Got News; and Brexit, a new political satire by Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky (writers of previous Edinburgh sell-out hits Coalition and Making News), looking at what may be happening in the final stages of the Brexit negotiations in 2020!
Pleasance is also renowned for its extraordinarily entertaining comedy programme. 2018 sees some big names returning to the Fringe including John Kearns, Matt Forde, Seann Walsh, Ciarán Dowd, Adam Kay, Jayde Adams, Robert White, Flanders and Swann, Iain Stirling and Rachel Parris.
Tickets for the whole of Pleasance programme is now on sale and it’s going to keep you busy and entertained.
