RENT the musical, by Bare Productions (an Edinburgh-based theatre company), is currently showing, as part of this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe lineup.
RENT the Musical at Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Based on the indelible love story of Puccini’s La Boheme (1896), RENT is a rock opera documenting the year in the life of a group of friends, in Lower Manhattan's East Village, New York. The musical tells a story of penniless artists and their struggles; navigating broken relationships, poverty, homelessness, and isolation amidst the AIDS crisis. Written by the late Jonathan Larson, this evergreen musical of social exploration is a hymn to life and love in its abundance of forms.
