Sheridan is having a bad day. Her church is closing, Adult Social Care are on her case, and she can’t work out what ingredients she needs from Homebase to make a bomb. With no one else to turn to, she climbs the scaffolding around the leaking church steeple with a few questions for Whoever Is In Charge.
SCAFFOLDING is an explosive new show about strength, love and community and an award-nominated play produced in association with Bristol Old Vic and Pleasance Theatre Trust for the Edinburgh National Partnerships programme.

“An incredibly well-drawn character…Funny. Very very funny” – Molly Naylor, writer
The 2024 tour included 4 weeks at The Pleasance, Edinburgh, a week at Bristol Old Vic, two shows in Best of Edinburgh Season at The Pleasance, London, a double bill at St Gregory’s Church Dawlish with Sing and Sign Jukebox Choir and a show at Exeter Northcott Barnfield Theatre.
This project was partly funded by Keep It Fringe and Teignbridge District Council with additional support from Creative Arc Programme, an initiative funded by University of Exeter and Exeter City Council and by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. A remount of the show is planned for 2025.
