We
tell
stories
A collaborative theatre company, creating exciting new stories for the stage.
Creative Director Lucy Roslyn and Productions Director Jamie Firth started BoonDog Theatre in 2012 to create new writing for the theatre. We wanted to tell stories that start conversations that last long beyond the audience leaving the theatre.
2025 will mark our 10th original production under the BoonDog brand.
Our work covers many subjects, but we try to focus on social issues, backed by immaculately researched detail.
Our work is covertly political: our commentary on modern society hidden in the (perhaps somewhat more comfortable) fictional past.
We have helped to develop other peoples shows - In 2022 we worked with Colin Hoult on his Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show "The Death of Anna Mann"
We also run "Fringe Festival Support", a chatshow supported by the Mental Health Foundation, interviewing Fringe performers and workers about their experiences in the hope that their hints and tips can help others prepare for, and get through, (likely) their most hectic and stressful month of the year.
Productions
"Fringe Festival Support"
Fringe Festival Support is a chat show, supported by the Mental Health Foundation, to support people performing and working at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
In 2017 Boondog Theatre identified that the Fringe is hugely testing of everyone's mental health: The pressures creatively, financially, logistically and emotionally across an entire month of performance are a mighty challenge. And, for some, there was too little support or advice
In 2018 they launched “FFS Livestream”. Hosted at the Pleasance Dome every morning, they invited festival veterans to come and share their experiences. In 2019 they broadcast every morning from Fringe Central. In 2020 they hosted a limited run of "FFS Lockdown" from home (as was the fashion of the time).
They continue to try and build a community, a feeling that everyone is all in it together when it comes to Edinburgh - And continue to try and make it so that "nobody wins unless *everybody* wins."
