Fundraising Campaign Team Events Questions News Press

Doughnut Productions have pioneered the use of swivel seats to engage audiences in a whole new way and now we need your help to take this concept to the world stage.

Why Edinburgh Fringe?

  • Largest Fringe Festival in the world
  • Connect with programmers and producers who can help us expand our reach
  • Gain a whole new audience
  • Get some high profile reviews (harder to do in London with short runs)

Why Now?

We have a tried and tested production, Andrew Bovell's Speaking in Tongues, which has been well received here in London. We first performed Speaking in Tongues in March 2016 and were invited back for a return run in February this year. We now we have a polished production that we are extremely proud to take to the world stage and have a team ready and available to go. We have secured a fantastic venue, The Green in the Pleasance Courtyard and a great PR team to help make this as successful as possible.

Why Do You Need Cash?

Edinburgh Fringe is expensive, before we can think about anyone getting paid for their work we need to cover rehearsal space hire, travel, accommodation, marketing costs, venue costs and more. That's where you come in, every little bit counts towards making this a reality. We've got a gripping show that audiences are getting to experience in a whole new way, it's time to unleash this and take the swivel seats as far and wide as possible. Take a look at the options opposite for the ways you can help.

What's the Show?

Speaking in Tongues by Andrew Bovell, starts as a fascinating look into the marriage of two couples and quickly evolves into a gripping mystery when a woman goes missing. The story entangles all the characters and keeps you guessing as you swivel in your seat, immersed in the heart of the action. But don't just take our word for it, check out what the reviewers have to say on our Campaign page.
