Warwick Students at the Fringe

This year’s Fringe hosts eight productions from companies made up of both Warwick University students past and present – the largest ever representation on Edinburgh’s stages!

Fellswoop Theatre will be performing Belleville Rendez-Vous, a stage adaptation of Sylvain Chomet’s animation film. The company, made up of recent Warwick graduates, has received wide critical acclaim over the last three years.

Dumbshow Theatre, another troupe of Warwick graduates, are taking up three shows. The returning hit Clockheart Boy which opened at our very own Warwick Arts Centre will be accompanied by the premieres of Roar and Oedipus: A Love Story.

Curious Detective, who emerged from Warwick in 2008, bring creativity to their curiosity in Your Last Breath.

One of the University’s drama societies will also be performing at the festival. Freshblood Theatre, who produce and perform exclusively student-written material, will be staging Fool’s Gold, whilst Fat Git Theatre, made up from both society members and recent graduates, will bring to Edinburgh their playfully absurd take on Gogol’s short story The Nose.

Meanwhile, SplitImage made up of current Warwick students perform their very own Frozen Stills, the touching story of an iconic photographer forced to relive his own life through snapshots of his memory.

We wish all Warwick students and alumni the very best for their time at Edinburgh’s Fringe – and if you’re going up yourself, why not check them out?
