INK Heads to Edinburgh Fringe
This August, INK is making its mark on the world's biggest arts festival, with five plays that premiered at INK Festival 2026 selected for The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Chosen from more than 530 submissions, the five plays make up an incredible one-third of the final programme - a remarkable achievement and a testament to the exceptional new writing developed through INK.
Presented in association with The Pleasance, The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show has championed new writing for 20 years, serving audiences a daily menu of 15 short plays throughout the Fringe from 7-31 August.
Congratulations to the writers whose work will be performed throughout the festival:
Vowel Movements by Gary Bates
A Perfect Two by Guy Newsham
Dying Stars by David Roberts
Here She Comes by Lucy Singer
Narratively Speaking by Barry Wood
Tom Hartwell, Artistic Director of Bite-Size Plays, said:
"We were once again blown away by the quality of the writing from INK."
The success doesn't stop there. Familiar faces from the INK community can be found across the Edinburgh Fringe this summer.
Frequent INK performer Isabella Inchbald stars in The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show.
INK performer and writer Ed Jones brings The Scaring to the Fringe with his company Crybabies, collaborating with Fleabag producer Francessca Moody.
INK actor Molly McGeachin is producing Giraffe and The Kingmaker, while INK 2026 writer and director Phoebe Segal presents her new one-woman show Nude at Space on the Mile, featuring INK actor Hattie Chapman.
Meanwhile, Mark Daniels, winner of the INK Festival 2025 Award Promising Writer Award, takes his latest play, A Man Proposes to a Balloon, or Possibly Something Worse, to Gilded Balloon Patter House.
We wish every member of the INK family the very best for a successful Edinburgh Fringe. Break a leg!
