PACKAGES

Full production, consultancy and hands-on support for artists and companies bringing their work to the world's largest arts festival

Rhymes with Purple's lead producer has been producing their own work and working with international companies at the Edinburgh Fringe since 2005. Behind them is a team of Fringe veterans who’ve worked as performers, directors, playwrights, front of house staff, venue managers and flyerers.

We’re there to do more than keep the wheels turning. We help shape the whole Fringe strategy around what success actually means for your show, and work hard to deliver whether that’s audiences, industry attention, future touring, or simply making sure the experience is worth your time and money. That means honest advice, realistic planning, and telling you when we think something won’t work rather than agreeing politely and sending an invoice.

We can work with up to 15 shows each year but we pride ourselves on having a personal connection to the work we produce by only working with shows (and people) we love. We met with 32 companies hoping to work with us in 2026 and took on 10 of those to present at the Fringe plus one support only show.

We publish our core fees because we think you should know the likely cost before you book a meeting with us. If your project needs something outside the standard package, we’ll explain that clearly before you commit.

If you’re working with a tighter budget, that doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t work together. If we genuinely love the show and think we can help, we may be able to build a more focused bespoke package around what you actually need. Get in touch to discuss.

HOW IT WORKS

1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR SHOW

You drop us a line. Send us the basics: what the show is, who’s making it, where you are in the process, and what you might want from the Fringe.

A script, trailer, work-in-progress video, reviews or previous production material all help if you have them.

5. WE RECOMMEND A PACKAGE

If we think we can help, we’ll recommend the level of support that makes sense:

Full Fringe Production
Fringe Support
Fringe Consultancy

We’ll explain exactly what is and isn’t included before you commit.

2. INITIAL FREE CONSULTATION

We’ll talk through the show, your goals, budget, experience and what success at the Fringe would look like for you.

This is also a chance for you to work out if you like us. Producing relationships are easier when everyone feels that they can get along and share trust.

6. WE SEND YOU A PROPOSAL

You’ll receive a written outline covering:

the agreed package & services
what remains your responsibility
fees and payment schedule
key dates
any additional services or expected third-party costs (No mystery extras).

3. WE GET TO KNOW THE SHOW

If you’re looking for Full Production or a support package, we’ll want to see the show or enough material to understand it

We’re not looking for perfection. We’re looking for work that excites us, artists we believe in, and projects where we think we can genuinely add something.

7. YOU SECURE YOUR PLACE

For Full Production or Support a retainer normally confirms the booking and becomes part of the total producer fee.

Once the contract is signed and payment arrangements are in place, you’re officially part of the RwP Fringe season. From here on in, we're making it happen.

4. WE DECIDE IF WE'RE A FIT

We only produce shows we love.

That doesn’t mean every show has to match our personal taste. What matters is that we believe in the work.

We also consider if the project is realistic, properly resourced and compatible with our values.

8. WE WORK TOGETHER!

Then the real work begins. We enact the plan, work to your priorities and start moving the project towards Edinburgh, with the level of involvement determined by the package you’ve chosen.

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

"The RwP team was incredibly supportive and easy to communicate with. Frodo did a wonderful job of guiding me and carrying the administrative lift that leads up to the actual festival. Frodo's always there to answer any question you have (truly, any question....I had a million)."
Michele Stine 'Always, Sometimes, Maybe'
"My whole team and I found Rhymes with Purple honest, trustworthy, congenial, wise and reliable. They enabled me (as a playwright living in the US) to jump the divide of the Atlantic Ocean and explore logistics etc., in Edinburgh that I could never have done on my own."
Marie Kohler 'Boswell'
"We hired Rhymes with Purple based on their excellent reviews from past clients. Frodo and the team went above and beyond for us. Whenever we had questions or concerns during our run, we could always count on quick and helpful responses."
Mountaine Jonas 'King Arthur's Body'
"Rhymes with Purple is especially capable and knowledgeable when it comes to the limitations and challenges of Fringe. They have a sixth sense about what works in a particular venue and the advice is not just practical, it is affordable and effective."
Lynn Ruth Miller 'Get a Grip'
"The best investment I made for the Fringe. We faced so many obstacles along the way and the Rhymes with Purple team were not only expert problem solvers and advocates but also amazing cheerleaders. I truly believe we could not have done it without them."
Gigi Bella 'Big Feelings'
"Rhymes with Purple saw the potential in our act before we did. They took care of all the logistics and allowed us to focus on creating our show. Their contacts meant we had reviewers and judges see us leading to two awards over two Fringes, and several great reviews"
Earnest & Wilde 'Let's Face the Music (And Franz)'
