The Bedlam Theatre is a unique, entirely student-run theatre in the heart of Edinburgh. Clearly visible from Edinburgh's Royal Mile in the heart of the city, we are a fully operational 90 seat theatre housed in an imposing neo-gothic church. As a listed building and historical landmark, Bedlam Theatre is unique as a space as well as a community, with students maintaining the building themselves throughout the year. The Edinburgh University Theatre Company put on over 40 shows a year – workshops and productions alike provide students with a unique opportunity to learn about all aspects of theatre, including lighting design, soundscaping, stage design, producing, directing and acting. Many Bedlamites go on to train at the best drama schools in the country while others move directly into the professional world, including critically acclaimed playwright Ella Hickson and Fringe favourites, ‘The Penny Dreadfuls’.
