About the show
Pyg is a 60-minute experimental new play at the Forest Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, by Sandcastles Productions. The show features three men and one mannequin in a place between somewhere and nowhere. Harrison has been coming here for a year — or maybe it's his first time, or his last; it depends which Harrison you ask. The mannequin stands at the centre of it all, unravelling Harrison's life as darker truths about his world threaten to break his fantasies. A wickedly inventive new play that is tender until it's unnerving, funny until it's horrifying. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A wickedly inventive new play that shifts from warmth to dread with real skill. If you enjoy theatre that keeps you off-balance — unsure whether to laugh or be unsettled — Pyg is one of the more intriguing Fringe offerings at the Forest Theatre.
