And it must stay that way.”We follow the square lives of Smiff and Willow—a stagnating married couple—whose daily routines are disrupted by the arrival of an anthropomorphic, destructive, and surprisingly stylish Jellyfish-person. As Willow desires greener grass, and Smiff preserves his perfect sanctuary, the two play tug-of-war over Jellyfish for a slew of selfish needs. Their bickering pushes the pair to clash in a crescendo, causing the crumbling of their sweet, crocheted, boxy, IKEA world.For the English Literature Play 2025, Jellyfish is being staged by a team led by MSc Playwriting student William Osbon.Follow the crew on Instagram: @jellyfish.eutcFollow the crew on Instagram: @filfbag_theatreAbout the English Literature Play AwardEach year the department of English Literature makes an award of up to £1000 to a literature student staging a live performance of a play text related to the English Literature degree programmes.Previous productions include:Mother Clap's Molly House by Mark Ravenhill, 2024Translations by Brian Friel at Bedlam Theatre, 2023Boys by Ella Hickson at Assembly Roxy, 2022Our Country's Good by Timberlake Wertenbaker at Bedlam Theatre, 2018Gaslight by Patrick Hamilton at The Caves, 2011If you're a student interested in applying for funding next year, keep an eye out for applications opening in autumn 2025.Are you interested in studying with us?We teach over 30 single and joint MA undergraduate honours programmes in English and Scottish Literature and a full range of taught and research-led postgraduate programmes, from one-year masters degrees to PhDs in English Literature and Creative Writing.Find out more about English Literature at Edinburgh Tags English and Scottish Literature Apr 29 2025 - May 04 2025 The English Literature Play A production of Jellyfish, written by MSc Playwriting student William Osbon.
