EDINBURGH PEOPLE'S THEATRE

Celebrating 81 Years of Entertaining Edinburgh Audiences.

Edinburgh People's Theatre (EPT) are well known for presenting a broad variety of productions ranging from straight drama through to the fun of the Christmas Pantomime.  Our year is based around a schedule of up to five productions (including the Festival Fringe which we have been performing in since 1947) so there's always plenty going on for people to join in with, whatever their level of interest and experience both on stage and off.

Our Pantomime production production to end this year, The Sleeping Beauty by Ben Crocker, will be performed at Church Hill Theatre, Morningside Road, from Friday 13th to Sunday 22nd December 2024 (not Monday 16th).  We look forward to seeing you there - details are listed below.

Our Next Show

King Nolly & Queen Dottie of Woollyglen, the land of sheep & spinning wheels, are excited for the Royal Christening of their beautiful daughter, Princess Aurora. The wicked fairy, Carabosse & her naughty feline accomplice, Spindleshanks, so mightily miffed at not receiving an invite, interrupt the ceremony & place a curse on the Princess which will cause her to die on her 18th birthday by a prick from the spindle of a spinning wheel. Luckily, Fairy Peaceful reduces the spell to an enchanted sleep of 100 years to be awakened by the kiss of a true Prince. But what other evil plans has Carabosse up her sleeve? Is the banishing of all spinning wheels in the kingdom enough to save the Princess? Will Aurora find true love with Prince Orlando? Come join our traditional family pantomime & help keep the Princess safe by booing the baddies & cheering the goodies along on this enchanted love story, set over the course of 118 years, plus interval.
