Every year we scout out the best Fringe shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to bring home and be the headliner of our own HST Adelaide Fringe! The award is the only of it's kind that allows a company from Edinburgh to tour their show to the Adelaide Fringe and has brought us some fantastic acts over the years. From Henry Naylor to Molly Taylor and everyone in between the award has uncovered some of HST's favourite artists.

What is the HST Edinburgh Fringe Award?

Our award invites a production from the Edinburgh Fringe to perform at Holden Street Theatres in Adelaide, South Australia, as the headline show of the following year of our Adelaide Fringe program.

Holden Street Theatres is known as “The Home of Theatre” with a strong loyal following and a reputation for presenting great work and looking after its artists and patrons.

Productions are shortlisted by the Artistic Director of Holden Street Theatres, Martha Lott, along with a panel of international producers and arts practitioners. The work is selected on artistic merit, production values, touring possibilities, venue compatibility and marketing viability. We see work from all genres and venues across Edinburgh, and accept applications and information from individuals, producers, and venues in advance.
