Prophets @ Edinburgh Fringe 2026 To help bring PROPHETS to the Edinburgh Fringe 2026 - a brand new drama by Fringe First winning playwright Jack MacGregor

Thrilled to announce my next play PROPHETS which we plan to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe 2026. Sadly it's really expensive to do the Fringe and we are a group of independent artists so we're launching a Crowdfunder to help get us there.

Please share widely if you can support please do.

A man (he's me, but younger) sits onstage at a small old wooden desk. He wears a dark navy two piece suit over an open collar white shirt, with bare feet. In front of him is a mic, and two audio samplers from which electrical cables spiral away from the desk. He lights a large white candle with a match. He is in light, but all around him is shadow.

I used to be better at telling people I'm doing stuff.

In 2 weeks I'm bringing back the multi-award-winning HEADS UP for one night only in a stripped back performance as part of the Shedinburgh programme, and I'd love you to come.
