Paines Plough Announce Initial Later Programme For Roundabout @ Summerhall

Today, Paines Plough announced the initial programme of comedy, theatre and spoken word which will form part of the LATER programme at ROUNDABOUT @ SUMMERHALL this August. LATER will run throughout the Fringe from 9 - 27 August with multiple further acts to be announced on Paines Plough's social media feeds throughout August.

LATER is Paines Plough series of one-off shows from the hottest companies and artists on the Fringe. Featuring exclusive new theatre, comedy, music and spoken word ROUNDABOUT's LATER programme is the late-night destination for new talent. And yes, you can bring drinks in.

Complimenting their main show All We Ever Wanted Was Everything Middle Child will present Some Tiny Plays About How Fucked We Still Are on 9 August; following Harry, their irreverent take on fandom, friendship and One Direction, Poor Michelle will stage Thick Skin on 12 August; Not Too Tame will bring 90's Britpop, their immersive theatre club night, to ROUNDABOUT on 20 August; and Paines Plough's very own brilliant thing James Rowland will stage Team Viking on 16 August.

Fight In The Dog will present two comedy mixed bills on 11 and 21 August in Fight In The Dog Goes Later. On 11 August ROUNDABOUT will welcome Giants, Lauren Pattinson, Phil Wang, Catherine Bohart, Thom Tuck, Becky Lucas, Neal Portenza, Goose, Tom Ballard and Mat Ewins. On 21 August the late night laughs will come from Phoebe Walsh, Adam Riches, Yuriko Kotani, Rob Carter, Jon Pointing, Steen Rascopoulos, Carlo Ritchie, Johnny White Really-Really, Katy Wix and Goose.

This year, Paines Plough in co-production with Orange Tree Theatre and Theatr Clwyd will stage three World Premieres in ROUNDABOUT from Brad Birch, Elinor Cook and Sarah McDonald-Hughes who will treat audiences to a tense psychological thriller, a thirty-year friendship between two childhood friends and a lesson in how to not grow up. All three productions will star Hasan Dixon, Katie Elin-Salt and Sally Messham.

Joining the three world premieres will be Middle Child and Hull UK City of Culture's All We Ever Wanted Was Everything by Luke Barnes; Monsay Whitney's new play Box Clever produced by nabokov and The Marlowe; The Royal Court Theatre's sold-out production of MANWATCHING; Dirty Protest's Sugar Baby penned by Alan Harris; and Nilaja Sun's latest show PIKE ST.

Paines Plough will also welcome back Sam Steiner's Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons following its sell-out run at Roundabout in 2016; Stacey Gregg's Fringe First winner Scorch; Jonny & the Baptists with a celebration of their silliest and most satirical songs; and Duncan Macmillan's universally acclaimed Every Brilliant Thing.
