As well as producing its own work there, and co-producing with others, Seabright Live also works on a general management and marketing consultancy basis on behalf of other producers looking to present work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world.
Please contact us if you are interested in discussing such an arrangement. Previous clients and collaborators include Broadway International Group, Steven Berkoff’s East Productions, Blue Box Touring, Chantal Productions, and many more.
Between 2003 and 2014 we produced the Festival Highlights programme in Edinburgh, which brought over 200 productions to the Fringe over this period.
