Four Walls and a Roof
By Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué & Bertolt BrechtStudio Theatre, Edinburgh
Edinburgh International Festival 2026
In 1933, German playwright Bertolt Brecht fled Berlin, eventually settling in the United States, where he would be tried by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) for communist affiliations. Ten years ago, artist duo Lina Majdalanie and Rabih Mroué emigrated from Beirut to Berlin. Their new play weaves these two stories together, exploring historical and contemporary censorship of free speech, the rise of the far right, and exile. Accompanied by a pianist playing songs from Brecht and Hanns Eisler, Majdalanie and Mroué bring their characteristic humour to question whether our liberal democracies are truly free, or if we're all sitting in a gilded cage.

Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Woolwich hospital. A&E waiting room. No sign of a doctor. Orla Wyatt's fierce new play, A&E, invites the audience to sit in the A&E waiting room and participate in humanity's favourite activity: voyeurism. It follows the encounter of a hospital regular, a volatile and twitching addict seeking help for her meth problem, and a cocky prisoner with a broken hand, who, together, seem to see what others can't. Wide Eye Productions presents a bold and witty take on class prejudice, moral ambiguity and Maltesers. In the fluorescent light of the waiting room, who's really sick and who's still human?
