theSpace @ Jury’s has been a fringe venue since 2002 and is located in an ideal central position (seconds from the Royal Mile), 500yds from Waverley Station and right next door to theSpace @ Venue 45 – one of the festivals most established venues.
Much of our focus in programming this venue is aimed at giving new, emerging and progressive companies the platform to gain the invaluable experience of performing on the fringe in a central venue and on an affordable budget. With this in mind our prices reflect a passion for young and developing theatre and we invite applications from companies who feel they fit that description.
The Shows:
Shows in the space are typically 1-4 handers and follow theatre, sketch, poetry, monologue, improv, music and comedy genres. We are very proud to have hosted an array of highly acclaimed acts and many have returned year on year to perform in our larger theatres. Over the years many shows have enjoyed 4/5 star reviews and several have received or been short-listed for awards, most recently ‘Creatures’ in 2010 (Editors Award, Three Weeks).
Reviews for shows performing at this venue are typically received from The Scotsman, Three Weeks, The Stage, Fringe Guru, The Guardian, Broadway Baby amongst others.
