Every August, INK's influence reaches the world's biggest arts festival as plays, artists and creatives connected to INK head to the Edinburgh Fringe.

From productions that began life at INK to writers, directors and performers who have developed their work with us over the years, there's always a wealth of INK talent to discover across the Fringe. Whether it's a play making its Edinburgh debut, an alumnus premiering a new show or familiar faces taking to the stage, we're proud to celebrate the incredible journeys of our creative community.

If you're heading to Edinburgh, keep an eye for people and performances with an INK connection. It's the perfect way to support emerging artists and see where new writing can take you.

The success doesn't stop there. Familiar faces from the INK community can be found across the Edinburgh Fringe this summer.
