Cringe
Edinburgh International Children's Festival 2026
(Sun 31-Wed 3 Jun, Various times)
It’s Reid Aitken’s first day of high school and he just wants to vanish. When an embarrassing incident spirals into a legend known only as “The Creeping Snake,” Reid finds himself at the centre of the cruellest joke in school.
Suddenly, the question isn’t how to disappear – it’s how to survive, and who will stand beside you when everything feels impossible.
Fast-paced, funny, and painfully true, Cringe is a story about surviving the minefield of growing up, standing up to bullies, and finding the friend who makes you braver than you ever thought you could be.
