Whether you're an experienced player or a total noob, the Stage Award-winning Gigglemug Theatre (Timpson: The Musical & The Bean Spillers: The Improvised Musical) present an interactive parody musical which will have the whole family laughing from start to finish.
After winning a BAFTA, 4 Guinness World Records and the hearts of millions of players worldwide, RuneScape has finally achieved something significant... it's now the subject of a brand new comedy musical!
With millions of players enjoying RuneScape over the last 20 years, Sam Cochrane & Alex Prescot set out to create a show (with an entirely original story, book and score) that is both nostalgic for RuneScape players past and present and enjoyable for those who have never even heard of it!
This show marks Gigglemug's return to Edinburgh following their debut Fringe hit Timpson: The Musical 4 years ago.
