About the show
Make Yourself at Home is a 75-minute drama by At Home Productions at The Studio during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The play follows Michael, a man struggling with agoraphobia at the height of his anxiety. After losing his girlfriend, he attempts to heal within the confines of his home — and his need for connection becomes so desperate that he begins imagining his household objects as people from his past. As imagination and reality blur, the show asks how trauma and mental illness intersect, how connections should be treated as a gift, and how to move forward when that gift is taken away. Age guidance is 16 and above.
Why see this show?
A thoughtful 75-minute drama about agoraphobia, isolation and the connections we take for granted. Make Yourself at Home uses an inventive theatrical device — household objects becoming people — to explore how trauma and mental illness intersect. Tickets from £7.
