Eight is a 50-minute theatre production by Drama Works (Parker & Snell) at Studio, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The play is a collection of searing monologues from contemporary Britain, each offering a distinct and uncompromising voice. The characters wrestle with privilege, politics, identity, faith and personal responsibility, forming a striking portrait of a nation questioning itself. Each story stands alone yet together they illuminate the fault lines running through modern culture. Sharp, provocative and darkly funny, the show is described as bold, intelligent and unflinching. Suitable for ages 12+, tickets are £12.
Why see this show?
Eight monologues, each standing alone but together forming something larger — a portrait of Britain in disagreement with itself. Sharp, dark and funny, this is the kind of theatre that invites you to reconsider where you stand.
