Summer Fling: Edinburgh Fringe 2025
Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom
Aim
Help us raise £1500 to bring this entirely student-led production and new piece of writing to the Fringe Festival!
Our Show
A farmer. A Taco Bell employee. A makeup artist. A landlord/influencer. It can only be this season's cast of Summer Fling, Channel 6's hottest dating show! Get ready for a summer of sand, short shorts and semen, as young people with concerningly low IQs and concerningly high body counts make fools of themselves for your viewing pleasure. A satirical comedy, Summer Fling explores the humorous, absurd and somewhat exploitative aspects of dating shows and the society we exist in.
Do you love Love Island? Do you hate Love Island? Then this show is for You! Summer Fling’s quick-witted comedy, loathsome and loveable characters and poignant observations of the morally questionable side of reality TV and dating culture make it a standout Fringe piece.
About Us
Written and directed by Grace Donaldson and assistant directed by Emma Comfort, the play was first performed at a new writing festival at the University of Glasgow in February 2025. Dating back to at least 1922, Student Theatre at Glasgow is the oldest and largest student theatre society in Scotland. STAG broke out of Glasgow in 1957 with their first performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Their most recent show, last year’s five-star reviewed ‘Lads of the Flies’, also written by Grace Donaldson, was nominated for two Scottish Theatre Awards: The Leading Light Prize and the Bright Sparks Award.
Your Support
As a fully student-run society from Glasgow, taking a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the most valuable and professional opportunity we offer our members, allowing them an extremely beneficial insight into the world of theatre making and a platform for their writing without the financial burden of putting on a show. STAG's productions at the Fringe have often been the crucial first step into a career in theatre for many of our past members. However, the increasingly unaffordable nature of the festival combined with the fact that we receive little to no funding from the University means that we struggle to cover venue and accommodation costs. Supporting us would ensure our ability to continue to provide this fantastic opportunity for young theatre makers at the University of Glasgow and allow us to have the budget to properly promote and facilitate our show.
