Mind the Gap is a one-act play by The Snap Collective at Muse, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026.

The show runs 55 minutes, age guidance is 14+, and tickets start from £12. Contains strong language and potentially distressing themes.
Why see this show?
A new play set entirely in the London Underground, with a live busker woven into the action. The semi-professional ensemble brings fresh writing to a familiar, everyday setting in a compact 55-minute piece.
