 "Their international fare is a cut above average."

19 Hill Street is an old Georgian four-storey Masonic Lodge; just a few minutes walk from Princes Street and around the corner from the New Town Theatre (former Universal Arts Theatre) and Assembly Rooms. It has been used as a Fringe Venue for thirty-five years and under the constant management of Tomek Borkowy for the past nineteen years, it has become a firmly established landmark on the Fringe goers’ map. 2009 will see the 20th Anniversary of Tomek Borkowy running Hill Street.
In Hill Street we adapt the building for theatrical purposes during the Fringe while retaining the essence of its history as the site of 100 years of Masonic activities. Not wishing to keep our activities a secret, the outside of the building is un-missable with its large banner, publicity boards and exterior flood lighting. The interior has Box Office on the ground floor, Bar on the first floor and Theatre Spaces on the second and third floor.
“Each August the venue becomes ever more important, because it is a dying breed … it’s one of an increasing minority of venues that continue to proclaim the values and traditions that have sustained the Fringe since the beginning.” – The Stage |
