1902 was one of the first productions in the UK to be performed following the easing of Covid restrictions launching a new pub theatre initiative at Prince of Wales, Birmingham in summer 2021 and that years Edinburgh Fringe reimagining of the production at Leith Arches went on to win an OffWestEnd Award in the OFFfest category and Broadway Baby’s Bobby Award.

2025 will see the return of the production to commemorate Hibernian’s 150th Anniversary including a 20 show run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the Hibernian Supporters Club.

Nathan Scott-Dunn said of the show’s return following a three year hiatus:

“Bringing 1902 back to the Fringe this year isn’t just about football—it’s about the people who shape this city. This play was built on the passion, humour, and resilience of working-class communities, the ones who live and breathe every high and low, on and off the pitch. With Hibs celebrating 150 years, there’s no better time to tell their story again, in their city, on their terms.

This is theatre for them.”
