Bedlam Theatre, Student theatre in Old Town, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The former church building displays Gothic architecture with stone walls, pointed arches, and a central tower facing Forrest Road at Edinburgh University.
Constructed in 1848 as the New North Free Church, the structure changed into a theatre in 1980 when Edinburgh University Theatre Company started their productions.
The theatre maintains its position as the oldest student-run performance venue in Britain, presenting 40 shows each year including student productions and festival events.
Located near George Square campus, the 90-seat theatre offers tickets through their website and maintains regular performances from September through April.
The name references its location near a former mental hospital, while the building received Category B listed status recognition in 2001.
