By Anton Chekhov

The Royal Scots Club
£15 or £12 for EGTG Members (+ booking fee)
EGTG’s one of three Edinburgh Fringe productions for 2026.
A widow swears eternal devotion to her late husband – until an irate, blustering creditor arrives demanding repayment of a debt. What begins as just an impolite visitation erupts into a ferocious battle of wills, wits and wildly inconvenient desire. Slammed doors, smashed furniture and loaded pistols give way to something even more fierce: love, as a duel of honour spirals into a reckless courtship neither combatant can truly control.
EGTG’s energetic, fast-paced, destructive rendition of Chekhov’s comedy farce: The Bear revels in the thin line between loathing and longing – and the thrill of crossing it!
EGTG’s & Alex Cook’s production of The Bear will run at the Royal Scots Club, Mon 10 to Sat 15 August 2026. Tickets cost £15 and are available to purchase online here.
EGTG Members receive £3 off with the discount code provided separately.
