Douglas and Andrew are two brothers, but two very different men. With a dog for a therapist and Rabbie Burns as their guide, can they put aside their past to confront right now? Set in a field in southwest Scotland, 'Fetch' is a powerful piece of new writing from Alan Gordon (Finalist, BBC Radio Scotland and Playwrights' Studio's 'Ignite' competition), which explores what happens when the one you need to tell is no longer there. Exciting puppetry brings to life the family pet of all family pets, but will it be enough to save Douglas from hitting self-destruct?

'.....USA Weekly News
You will have to come to Will They See Me? me this week at the Greenside ot find out!!!!
Will You See me was written and directed by Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham who have trained together for four years at The Scottish School of Contemporary Dance and decided to create their new prodcuction company Fair Play Productions because of a joint interest in what appeals to then when creating and performing dance theatre. Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham aim was to bring out a genuine reaction from their audience so that they can truly engage and be entertained by Will Thye See Me? Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham aim to make our work accessible for the general public without losing integrity of the work.
The inspiration for their show Will They See Me? was the contrast between how people behave when they think that no one is watching and how they behave when they think that "everyone" is watching (namely how they portray themselves and interact on social media). Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham worked collaboratively with our four performers to create the show Will They See Me?
. Sarah Oakley and Tess Letham say they have enjoyed all the preparations leading up to the Fringe and look forward to the rest of their Shows Run at the

This artistic duo has developed a connection through what appeals to them when creating and performing dance, foremost that it brings out genuine reactions in the audience. An engaging performance delivered through cleverly crafted humour and stylistic movement. A sharp observation of human behaviour taken to the extreme! How much of ourselves do we allow others to see?

Circle Line Blues

Early morning January 2009 in a carriage on the Underground. Strangers fall into uneasy, hesitant conversation where they only hint at their troubles. But through the vehicle of song we find out what really makes them tick.
This summer the Fringe will make history (again!) as being the biggest arts festival ever, but it’s not just the Fringe that’s toasting success, Greenside is breaking records too!
Fringe 2011 is set to be Greenside’s BIGGEST and BEST yet.
This year, we’re proud to be launching our brand new space: Studio 2, a purpose built black box studio space, seating fifty. As well as the space improvements, we have DOUBLED the number of events at Greenside compared to 2010; that’s over two hundred performances over the course of the Fringe!
‘Beside The Greenside’ is back for a second year and is brings with it quite simply the most unique and innovate space at the Fringe: ‘The Shack’!
At Greenside, we love our outdoor gardens and so do our audience members so good news: we have upgraded and increased our outdoor areas just for you! We know that the Fringe can be stressful so take the weight off your feet and let our trained therapist take away all your woes; offering fantastic treatments and massages for the whole of the Fringe! Throw in a completely upgraded outdoor lighting rig, green room and backstage area and you can see why we’re so excited.
We simply can’t wait to share Fringe 2011 with you, and what a Programme we have… so take a look at our ‘What’s On’ section to marvel at the gems that we have on offer.
We at Greenside truly believe that we encapsulate the spirit of the Fringe, so come down and have look for yourself try something new… it is the Fringe after all!
Performing_at_Greenside
At Greenside, we offer an unrivalled experience to all our companies; the reason why we understand the complexity of performing at the Fringe is because we have actually performed at the Fringe!
We started our Fringe life in exactly the same position as you, as Performers, Directors and Production Managers. We believe that it’s this unique perspective on the Fringe that allows us to understand the fantastic journey you’re about to start! We believe that every company should have the opportunity to perform at the biggest arts festival in the world, and that’s why we don’t operate a strict application process in which we only program the most experienced and well known acts. We believe that irrespective of reputation, experience or size there is a place for you at Greenside.
We know that you want a fantastic space, with a generous size stage, fantastic technical capabilities, and friendly staff that will allow you to showcase your work, so we work tirelessly to ensure we tick all of those boxes and provide you with the Fringe Venue you deserve.At Greenside, we guarantee to NEVER charge a Box Office Split, which means that every penny you take on the box office is yours to keep!
We are on hand twenty four hours a day, seven days a week before, during and after the Fringe to help you with all your queries from Press Releases, Lighting Designs, Marketing Advise and even where to find the best bar in Edinburgh!
We take great pride in our spaces and we strive to provide the best space possible for you. We have the state of the art lighting and sound equipment, boasting a full LED colour mixing wash and superb 16 channel sound systems ensuring your show will look and sound great on any of our stages.
We know finding the right venue is the first step in your Fringe adventure and we’re sure that one of our spaces is right for you.
Please click the link below to find out more about Greenside Theatre and Greenside Studio.
Without the Companies who perform at Greenside there would be no Greenside and we really appreciate each and every company that has performed with us over the past seven years. We like to think we have a fantastic Venue with unbeatable service but don’t just take our word for it! See what companies who have worked with us in the past have to say about their time at Greenside.
The
only criticism we have of Greenside is the fact that they were just
too popular to have us in our first year at the Fringe, when we were
pipped to the post by another company, and had to suffer at the hands
of more a unscrupulous venue. We forgave Darren, Tara and the team
though, the instant we stepped into Greenside in our second year at the
Fringe . . . and have never looked back . . . in fact, we liked them
so much our company technical manager joined their team!! I defy any
venue or venue team
to be more welcoming and flexible when faced with a cast of 20,
very energetic, young people, a live band, and a technically
demanding show. With a great backstage area as well as
performance space, toasties so good that they became an integral
part of our cast promo on the mile, and a passion for delivering
a Fringe experience to remember, (for all the right reasons),
you really couldn’t expect more from a venue! Three years on
Greenside has become our second home, and we would highly
recommend you come and join the team for a brilliant festival!
Cathy Moss – Projects Director – Indigo arts
' Louche Theatre's 2010 visit to the
Edinburgh Fringe was a great experience , a major factor in making it so
enjoyable was the venue and staff there. From the first moment we
contacted them, Greenside people went out of their way to ensure
everything went smoothly....nothing was too much trouble ! The
venue itself is delightful, situated on the edge of parkland, the
performance areas are an excellent size and there is a good space
to store props etc. To top it all off, we came away
having been nominated for 6 company and individual awards ! Needless to
say, we have already booked Greenside for the 2011 Fringe.........oh,
forgot to say, the food is yummy too ! '
Harry Durnall
Artistic Director
Louche Theatre
www.louchetheatre.com
Greenside is a smashing venue: while it has seating for 100, it feels intimate, and the major improvements in the last three years make it a pleasure to perform in. Darren and Tara and the team could not be more welcoming or accommodating, and professional help is well provided. The fact that Greenside is a ten minute stroll from the Royal Mile has never been a bar to us getting Sell-Out Status for 8 years now. We warmly recommend Greenside to any company wanting to enhance their reputation at the Fringe.
Lloyd Allington
Director of Drama
Close Up Theatre
How would I sum up my Greenside experience? In a word: Excellent. The crew are of the utmost in professionalism and experience. As for the space itself it was hands down one of the nicest spaces I encountered in all of my fringing. The lights and sound were wonderful and once again the crew was absolutely top notch. Anyone who chooses this as their venue will not regret it!
Victoria Nolan, Company Director (Luna Arts)

Andrea's Got Two New Boyfriends 5 stars awarded to this very entertaining production of ...Andrea's Got Two New Boyfriends.......well worth seeing' .... editor of the USA Weekly News
|
Narrated by their counsellor Mike, the play centres on the daily lives of three developmentally challenged adults who reside at Crystal Park, a care facility in upstate New York. Andrea, the leader of our trio and child prodigy in music, now barks orders at fellow residents. Freddie, the self-acclaimed lady killer and world traveller competes for Andrea's attention and concern with the gentle and withdrawn Richard, who wonders why his family has cut contact with him. With humour and compassion, we gaze into this half-lit world and learn why Andrea can and must have two boyfriends.

Any More Legroom? Anymore Legroom awarded 5 stars ... JMUpstary Dance Company will no doubt be back with another great performace at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival ....we will be looking forward to seeing it' ....USA Weekly News

After two successful tours at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, JMUpstart Dance Company return to present Any More Legroom?

The repertoire emerges from international independent artists and members within the company. Included within the programme is live dance, intermediality and improvisational-based work. 'An eclectic, high-energy piece from European group JMUpstart’ (Judith Mackrell, Guardian). They ‘have attitude, daring and promise!' (Dora Petherbridge, www.unlimited media.co.uk).

Attempts On Her Life
|
Martin Crimp’s rarely staged yet most iconic play Attempts on her Life comes to the Edinburgh Fringe 2011. Performed in its entirety we witness 17 scenarios, 17 obsessions and 17 attempts to describe one indefinable character. With no central plot, no central character and no other definable characters, we witness an experiment attempting to create the perfect answers to modern society. 17 scenarios for the theatre for ‘a world in which theatre itself has died’.

Be My Baby ' 5 stars ....Be My Baby was a lot of fun and entertaining...a great musical theatre performance....' ....USA Weekly News
|
It's 1964 and Mary Adams is 19, unmarried and 'up the duff'. Sent to a mother and baby home by a mother intent on keeping up appearances, she has to live out her pregnancy in secrecy and shame. However, teenage effervescence keeps breaking through as she and the other inmates sing along to the classic girl-group songs of the period. 'If this play was a person you'd want to hold it and hug it' (Guardian) ...'You don't have to be young, female or unmarried to find this play intensely moving' (Times )
 |
Be Prepared ' 5 stars ....Be Prepared written and performed by Mathew Bellwood.... was moving set of stories well delivered and well written....' ....USA Weekly News
|
Be Prepared is a storytelling show by writer and performer
Matthew Bellwood. It’s a collection of oddball, off-the-wall stories,
some funny, some poignant, and some completely bizarre. The show covers
everything from Nina Simone to the tsunami in the Indian ocean, taking
in such diverse subjects as how to rename your parents and why it is
important for a young man to own his own eagle. ‘Eloquent and sharp’ (Edmonton Journal), ‘Bellwood has a remarkable gift’ (Saskatoon Star Phoenix), ‘An engaging and animated storyteller who can fire up the imaginations of adults and children alike’ (Opera North).

Belle of Amherst: Double Vision ' 5 stars ....Belle of Amerherst: Double Vision is a world class performance....' ....USA Weekly News

Poet, Emily Dickinson - lunatic or genius? Ravenously
passionate, culturally shackled. With wit, humour and brilliance,
Dickinson's life and poetry vaults onstage. Unique production of a play
performed alternately in two perspectives: drama or dance (see venue).
The nuclear meets the visceral Emily. See both performances for £10.00 -
available at venue. ‘The audience was completely enthralled’ (La Jolla
Museum of Contemporary Art). ‘A most memorable evening of entertainment
full of emotion and wit’ (La Jolla Light). ‘An actress capable of becoming Emily Dickinson for two hours must not be over-looked’ ***** (San Diego Union).

Cabaret
|
Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power and the seedy nightlife at the Kit Kat Klub revolves around the 19-year-old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with the young American writer Cliff Bradshaw. A sub-plot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor.
 |
Cagebirds
|
The Cagebirds were happy ignoring each other, until The Wild One came. The Wild One has a lot to say. Being caged in, as the others are, can't be right, it can't be fair. The Cagebirds have a lot to say too. The Great Guzzler loves to talk about food, whilst The Mirror-Eyed Gazer speaks only of beauty. All the Cagebirds have something to say, but none of the Cagebirds are listening. This play discusses what happens when communication breaks down, and whether freedom is being outside a cage or inside.
 |
Can't Stand Up For Falling Down
|
Set in the 1980s in post-industrial Doncaster, this dramatic play follows three very different women and their tales of Royce, a man who has a devastating effect on their lives in many different ways. Lynette, Ruby and Jodie are three very different women who are strangers to each other. Little do they know that one brutal man will bring their lives together. As we follow these three women through their daily struggles, they show us that even when they feel completely alone it is possible to find strength in the most unlikely of people.

Death of a Salesman
|
The greatest play of the 20th Century and Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece: The story of the little salesman, entranced and deceived by the American Dream, a heart-rending powerful family tragedy in which we are forced to confront ourselves and our own condition. Willy Loman, the salesman, aches for riches and success for his son Biff but all that awaits him is inevitable tragic disappointment and defeat. Close Up Theatre, sell-out show 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004.
 |
End of the Line
|
A dark comedy marred with heart-wrenching, emotional drama - this thought-provoking piece reflects contemporary Irish society in the depths and despair of recession. The play moves between themes of materialism and celebrity, alcoholism, bereavement, anger, frustration, violence, lies and mental illness. Set on a dreary morning in modern-day Ireland, the queue waits in hope, embarrassment, fear, disappointment, but good humour and a realisation that nobody is immune from joining the end of the line. The unemployment queue in Ireland is presently the greatest leveller of status, class. Join us and discover why. Not to be missed.

Into the Woods

Debuting at Edinburgh with this full-length production of Into The Woods, Opera di Nepotist is a unique company whose members range from completely inexperienced performers, to those on the path of a professional career. All are welcome. Sondheim's music and lyrics enthral his audience. Incorporating characters from several well-known fairy tales, the plot initially appears to follow the expected path to a happy ending for all. However, all is not as it seems. The characters are challenged in ways they could not imagine. For some, there is a happy ending, though not as envisaged. For others...

Little Sparrow ....Well worth awarding over 5 Stars...a very professional performance..recommended for a USA Weekly News 100 Star Award...USA Weekly News
|
An indulgent and atmospheric journey through the wild life of Edith Piaf. Traditional mime is twisted into a grotesque and highly inventive, physical exploration of the darker side of her road to fame. The audience is engulfed into an evocative world of shadowy Parisian brothels and bars, intensified by the sharp, stylized lighting and deceiving silhouettes. The raw beauty and opulence of her distinctive voice is harmonized by the incredible precision of the actors. This original, extravagant and vivid production is a visual delight, bold, explicit and bursting with creativity.

My Voluntary Punishments - Another Cappadocia
|
My Voluntary Punishments is inspired and named after Annette Mesager’s work. This piece tries to recollect the small daily punishments of young urban women as experienced by each dancer. Another Cappadocia: in Brazil, there are thousands of beliefs that can be alternated or simply lived almost in harmony. A man on stage changes life with the delicate moment of death. The show talks about what must not be seen or touched. Intuition about something or someone who protect us. Angels perhaps? Its existence is not explained. It's a male solo.

Nunsense

Nunsense is a hilarious spoof about an accident in the kitchen of the Little Sisters convent. 52 nuns have gone to meet their maker and the nunnery's coffers lack the funds to pay for a decent burial for all the sisters, leaving four of them in cold storage. Reverend Mother is determined to raise the cash and decides she and the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert - will stage a talent show to raise the money to bury their dearly departed sisters.
