The Traverse Theatre, Royal Lyceum and King's Theatre are the Edinburgh venues with the most drama productions over the year.

During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe many more spaces are reinvented as theatre spaces - community halls, churches, sports centres, schools, and even people's private homes - to cater for the thousand plus productions taking place over the month of August. 

The Edinburgh Playhouse
A spacious venue at top of Leith Walk hosting big gigs and West End Musicals and Operas, and offers very good accoustics. 

The Festival and Kings Theatres 
The Festival Theatre is an impressive glass-fronted theatre with one of the biggest stages in Europe usually used for Opera, Dance, Musicals and large scale theatre. The King's was a Howard and Wyndham theatre which has touring theatre productions and a old fashioned charm.
