Future Formed is excited to offer two residents an all-expenses paid trip to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2024, the world's largest performing arts festival famous for comedy, theatre, circus - and everything in between. With thousands of shows set in diverse venues from grand stages to intimate basements, this festival promises an unforgettable experience.
Get ready to mingle with industry insiders and talented artists. Meet the Soho Theatre team and gain insight into the behind-the-scenes workings of the festival.
