Want to know more about the Scots Language, and the poetry and songs of Robert Burns? Come along to our Scots Night on Monday 4th November at 19:30. Using the cantata - The Jolly Beggars - we will be examining the language, performing in the round, and Chorus singing. (A cantata is a vocal composition with an instrumental accompaniment). Please email info@leitheatre.com if you would like to attend. 

Our next production is 'Dancing at Lugnhasa' by Brian Friel. Premiered at Dublin's Abbey Theatre, this multi-award-winning play is about five impoverished spinster sisters in a remote part of County Donegal in 1936. With them live Michael, seven-year-old son of the youngest sister, and Jack, the'sisters' elder brother, a missionary priest newly returned from Africa. The even's of that summer are narrated in recall by the adult Michael, unfolding a tender study of these women's lives. Click 'Buy Tickets' button above. Tickets are also on sale in person at Umbrella Vinyl, 20 Valleyfield Street, EH3 9LR or on the door on performance days.

Leitheatre is an amateur theatre group based in Edinburgh. We usually produce three full length productions per year, including one in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We also take part in the Scottish Community Drama Association (SCDA) One Act Play Festival. Our productions take place in the Church Hill Theatre, the Studio Theatre and Inverleith St Serf's Church Centre. We also produce a Burns Show in January to celebrate the birth of Scotland's Bard, Robert Burns. This show is performed for other organisations such as Golf Clubs, Care Homes and other social clubs. If you are interested in booking the Burns show, please get in touch via the 'Contact Us.' button above. 

On the Our History page, you will read how our roots are in Leith but we perform in venues and theatres all over Edinburgh. We are not connected to Leith Theatre, in Ferry Road.  You can find information about that organisation here Leith Theatre Trust .
