Night Falls on Burma is a 45-minute LGBTQ+ drama at studio, part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, produced by Issyman Productions in association with Forces at the Fringe. Set during one of the most horrific battles in human history, three very different young soldiers must bond to ensure the success of the military machine they are part of. Writer Paul Stone has researched the experiences of Indian Army and queer soldiers to celebrate a shared history that is seldom found in the official histories. Tickets from £10 with a top price of £14, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A 45-minute drama that brings together the experiences of Indian Army and queer soldiers in a story that sits outside the official histories. The question at its heart — whether unexpected closeness is a weakness or a strength — keeps it human rather than didactic.
