Candlewasters is Edinburgh’s home for fresh student writing.
This season, our cast of twenty-four actors brings you excerpts from eight original plays, each with its own style, tone and story. Whether you love comedy, drama, or something stranger, there’s something here for you.

The short plays featured are as follows:

Cockroach on a Wall by Cyrus Tsang

I’m Gay by Cyrus Tsang

Mandy’s Driving School by Florrie PJ

Office Boys by Mack Harris

Purgatory by Chiara Martinolli

The Ontological Study of Bathrooms and the recently Deceased by James Harvey

Behind the scenes, a company of forty students works across tech, staging, costume, directing, graphic design and photography to make it all happen.
Come and see what’s new on the Edinburgh stage.
