About This Event

Edinburgh audiences are invited to experience Brian Parks' thought-provoking new play, The Problem, at the Assembly Rooms on 6 August 2026. Kicking off at 14:10, this production promises an engaging afternoon of theatre featuring a talented ensemble cast. The narrative unfolds within the sterile confines of a high-rise office, where three characters are basking in the glow of what they perceive as hard-won redemption. Their self-satisfaction, however, is dramatically shattered by the emergence of an existential threat that requires their urgent attention and decisive action. Parks masterfully crafts a fast-paced comedy that delves into the complexities of survival and the inevitable repercussions of one's choices. Prepare for a sharp, witty exploration of what happens when perceived peace is abruptly interrupted by a crisis demanding immediate resolution.
