SHOW: A Play of Two halves

View all →About This Event
The theatre production *SHOW: A Play of Two halves* takes place at Tynecastle Park on 31 August 2026. Two connected plays based on Hearts FC’s 1874-built stadium will be performed in the venue, which dates back to 1874.
Two plays. One ticket.
Two connected stories from last season: Hearts’ closest title challenge in 40 years. Performed inside Tynecastle Park’s 1874 Supporters Bar, this site-specific double bill turns the real bar into each play’s world.
At an open-mic night, 'Moved' follows a supporter whose public hope collides with private angst: is football holding him together or tearing him apart?
In 'Season in Bloom', a Gorgie pub’s staff, regulars and visitors navigate the same hope, grief and gallows humour. Heartbreaking, funny and deeply human: it isn’t about football. It’s about what football does to people.
Friday and Saturday shows - the Skyline Restaurant will be open for bookings before and after show times:
