George Rennie

Hello! I’m a writer, performer and theatre-maker working across mediums, often self-producing and creating work collaboratively.

I write existential comedies, speculative narratives and stories about self-discovery.

All my work centres joy and playfulness, leaning towards humour and integrating poetry, irreverence and interaction.

Have a look around and feel free to get in touch.

Hamstrung @ Pleasance Courtyard for Edinburgh Fringe ‘24

Alas, poor Yorick! Though he's not dead... Hamlet's legendary jester is back to dig up the bones of his misspent life in this irreverent resurrection of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy.

Join Yorick as he reconnects with his lost love of performance, embarking on a high-spirited journey to discover what really happened in Elsinore.

Hamstrung is a stirring and impactful interactive ghost story about the space between live theatre and the afterlife. To see or not to see? There is no question.
