About Exi Attica
Get Thee to a Nursery is an original comedy from Exi Attica running 55 minutes at Space 2. A gang of four-year-olds, cursed by the spirit of Shakespeare for shredding his beloved Folio, awaken suddenly fluent in the Bard's language — and conceiving character thoughts not their own. As nursery politics weave through Shakespearean subplots, the children bicker, fight and age through his world and words. This Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 production is performed by young adults channelling their inner infant.
Why see this show?
Shakespeare filtered through a nursery squabble — absurd, inventive and genuinely funny. Young adults voicing four-year-olds grappling with the Bard's language is a wonderfully daft premise that earns its laughs.
