🔥 COMING BOXING DAY 2025 🔥

At 7:30PM on Boxing Day, join us at https://youtu.be/Ou-PNv_1xN0 for the premiere of WATCH ME DIE: LIVE AT THE EDINBURGH FRINGE.

Recorded live at The Space at Surgeon’s Hall during the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, this is theatre with its teeth bared. Shot by sensational cinematographer Hannah Moss, then cut, twisted and glittered by the mysterious James Akthi, comes the filmed premiere of Jake A Smith’s Shakespearean love bomb, WATCH ME DIE.

💋 Miles John is the deliciously devious Benedict Masters, spiralling through revenge and lust alongside Lulu Frenett’s Olivia Hunt, her wife Daniella (Rach Ham), and the sickly, doomed William Winters.

⚔️ Set against civil war, cruelty and prejudice, this 50 minute theatrical riot is loud, filthy, funny and ferocious. An all out assault on the senses that grabs you by the collar and does not let go.

💥 Expect s*x, satire, Shakespeare and chaos.
💥 Expect to feel something.

🗣️ “Entertaining the audience by any means necessary” Broadway Baby
🗣️ “The best show I’ve seen in years” Russell, audience member

Boxing Day. Press play. Dare you look away?
