New research into the gender balance of composers, lyricists and playwrights in UK theatre has found there remains a large discrepancy in the representation of writers credited for main stage productions in 2022

@DrArleneHH @KateMaltby @kamilashamsie @InuaEllams @OpenAirTheatre @edfringe We’re a very different sort of adaptation, but excited to check these out!!

Here we are. I had to be picky; at least five honourable mentions would have gone up a tier if the standard had been a little less competitive.

For Pick of the fringe and Honourable mention, come this way.

@cns_theatre We love a bit of cheese! Thanks for this, Chris :)

[Chris Neville-Smith @cns_theatre]

Antigone, the musical @MusicalAntigone from Hard Luck Theatre. Starts off as a faithful retelling, then there's a rather cheesy change to the plot.

So cheese away for all it's worth. https://t.co/x8LMekiLY9

Review: Antigone: The Musical ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

'What’s undeniable about this show is how much fun it is. A highly entertaining hour that still has enough substance that it feels like far more than just a fluff piece, or a send-up'

⭐To all the ARTISTS, AUDIENCES and VENUE STAFF who joined us this year and made the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe so INCREDIBLE⭐

Thank you... and we hope to see you again in 2023!

[theSpaceUK @theSpaceUK]

That's a wrap! This is all you. The companies, the crew, the flyering, the late nights, the pints, the sold-out theatres and the tip-top resilience. The laughs, coffees, warm-ups, reviews, star ratings. Theatre.
Can you spot yourself...? #theSpaceUK #edfringe

@judeeferguson Aw thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!!

@MusicalAntigone Saw the show tonight. Loved it so much!! Brilliant retelling, funny, sad, uniting, excellent acting, singing and passion from the cast and first-class musicians. My 15 yo, classics-obsessed daughter adored it too & I got all the creds for booking it. 10/10 ❤️

[Marianne Ryall @marianne_ryall]

I can’t believe we’ve finished!!! It’s been crazy, exhausting, but most of all an unbelievable amount of fun!!! 🎉⭐️❤️
