Tickets Now Available For Grid Iron's Production of Andrew O'Hagan's MAYFLIES
Presented as part of this year's Made in Scotland showcase at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Mayflies is staged at the iconic Brown's of Leith.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, the award-winning Fringe favourites Grid Iron will present the world premiere of Mayflies, a site-specific adaptation of Andrew O'Hagan's best-selling novel.
Everyone has a Tully Dawson: the friend that defines your life. This tale of 80s youth and facing mortality in middle age is a joyous and heart-breaking elegy to the young people we still carry within us. With an epic soundtrack forged straight from the heart of the 80s, a former metal works in Leith echoes the iconic venues of Manchester's music scene, providing an ideal setting for this love letter to friendship, and a pledge: go at life differently.
Presented as part of this year's Made in Scotland showcase at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Mayflies is staged at the iconic Brown's of Leith - a unique collaborative space for food, drink and creative practice, which opened in November 2025. Representing a major step in the regeneration of the area, Brown's of Leith sits within the historic George Brown & Sons Engineering Works on The Shore, overlooking the Water of Leith.
The building was home for 130 years to George Brown & Sons, engineers and metalworkers who relocated the family business to East Lothian in 2024. The existing space retains its period industrial character across three generous floors. Full cast details to be announced in due course.
