EGTG
A rock and a drama place
Full details of this weekend’s inaugural StagEHd Festival.
This weekend, Saturday 28 and 29 May 2022, the Ross Bandstand is being taken over for the first ever StagEHd Festival, Edinburgh’s newest theatre festival, which has been funded by the City of Edinburgh Council’s Community Fund.
Hay Fever
★★★☆☆ Lightly hilarious
Every family has their foibles, but the Bliss family are next-level eccentric in Noel Coward’s delicious comedy Hay Fever – brought to the Assembly Roxy by EGTG for four performances only.
Theatre Fest is GO
Proposals now sought for May 2022 outdoor festival
The StagEHd Festival, a new theatre festival for amateur and grassroots theatre companies based in an EH postcode is to take place in the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens in May 2022.
Bug
★★★★☆ Twisted romance
Set in a motel room somewhere in America, Bug begins like a twisted tale of romance but ends as a case study of how conspiracy, paranoia and wild theories can escalate into all-encompassing self-destructive philosophies.
EGTG EdFringe Auditions
Casting for three digital productions
Leading Edinburgh amateur company Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group has put out a casting call for three digital productions as part of the 2021 Edinburgh Fringe 2021.
Fest of Theatre for 2021

It’s One-Act Week
SCDA One Act Festival returns to Church Hill:
The SCDA’s One Act Festival returns to the Church Hill Theatre this week with a dozen plays set to be performed over the four night run.
EGTG’s Improbables Return
Workshops for short-form improv:
EGTG has announced the return of The Improbables, its highly successful Improv troupe, with a 10-week introductory course into short-form improvisation.
Catch 22
★★★★☆ Catchy:
As with so many great books, Catch-22 seems to have defied dramatic representation over the years. And while EGTG’s version at the Biscuit Factory does not necessarily kill off such an idea, is still an extremely impressive production.
EGTG Catch their 22
Pace, Panto and Pathos promised at Biscuit Factory:
Stage adaptations of literature have been pouring off Edinburgh’s stages in the last wee while, but amateur company EGTG has gone to the top of the tree marked Iconic.
