Bedlam Theatre, Edinburgh

Bedlam Theatre is a fully operational 90 seat student-run theatre housed in a Neogothic church in central Edinburgh. It is owned by the University of Edinburgh, home to the Edinburgh University Theatre Company (EUTC) and notable for being the oldest student-run theatre in Britain.

Its building, the former New North Free Church at the foot of George IV Bridge in Edinburgh, was designed by Thomas Hamilton, an architect involved in the creation of Edinburgh New Town in the city. It is on the site of the old city poorhouse, and its current name is taken from the nearby site of the city's first mental health hospital, where the poet Robert Fergusson died.

After the building was abandoned by the church in 1937 it was gifted to University of Edinburgh, who used it for various purposes including a furniture store and a school of nursing until, in 1980, when the building was converted for the use of the Edinburgh University Theatre Company.
