Æ at the 2024 Summer Festivals
All Edinburgh Theatre’s coverage of the 2024 festivals
Edinburgh’s theatre makers excelled themselves this year, with over 180 theatre, musical theatre, children’s theatre and dance shows at the Fringe. Which is a wonderful testament to the theatre bones of the city.
It also meant that at Æ we had to rise to the occasion. And we are very proud to say that we did, of the 160 shows we reviewed at this year’s Fringe, we managed to provide what we hope are in-depth and meaningful reviews to 128 shows made in Edinburgh – from all quarters of the theatre scene.

Our coverage was focussed on theatre, with a good sprinkling of musical theatre and opera reviews, as well as some from the Children’s and Cabaret sections of the EdFringe programme.
We covered plays by amateurs, grassroots companies and professional or funded companies.
It is only because of our brilliant team of reviewers that we were able to give that coverage. Whether they reviewed one show or fifty, we could not have done it without them.
in depth coverage
Our aim at All Edinburgh Theatre is not just to do the numbers. We aim to provide in depth coverage, with reviews that reflect the shows and the performers and creatives who put the effort in to create them.
We hope that this provides companies with reviews which are useful in the future, and are also a historical marker of what Edinburgh’s input into the Fringe has been.
We have added links to the reviews on the seven listings pages below, and created a new page of all the reviews of #MadeinEdinburgh shows in alphabetical order. Further down the page are links to the reviews according to the reviewer and also to the venue.
We also covered a trio of shows at the Edinburgh International Festival and provided three round-ups of theatre adjacent events at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
A personal thank-you to all the companies, the backroom staff, FoH, actors, writers, creatives the PRs and all our contributors. Without each and every one of you, the whole exercise would not be as successful as it has been.
