4Play - 4 New Plays from 4 Edinburgh Playwrights

The 4PLAY team are back with four new full-length plays.

Following on from their mega-successful scratch nights in both 2022 and 2023, we are delighted to be welcoming back Ruaraidh Murray, Mikey Burnett, Andrea McKenzie and Katy Nixon with four plays that are now full-length developed pieces. Come along and celebrate them taking to the stage for the very first time.

4PLAY is part of the Traverse's £1 Tickets Project.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council

FUCKERS by Ruaraidh Murray (Wed 4 & Thu 5 Dec)

An actor and a comedian fall in love at the Edinburgh Festival and embark on a transatlantic romance but will ambition kill it? Can you have it all…love AND success?

COLOURS RUN by Mikey Burnett (Wed 4 & Thu 5 Dec)

It’s Derby day. A violent Hibs football casual returns home to tell his brother something bad has happened. But has something far worse happened in their past?

BUTTERFLIES AND BENEFITS by Andrea McKenzie (Fri 6 & Sat 7 Dec)

Maz dances through hedonistic 1999 where dark clubs and crazy after-parties spawn legendary nights out she’s destined to forget. But when life moves faster than a broken strobe can anything cradle her when she falls?

CHEAPO by Katy Nixon (Fri 6 & Sat 7 Dec)

Kyla needs Jamie to do something for her. But he only wants to do what’s right. Two teenagers battle out their differences over a game of chess. There are no winners.
