Based on the hugely popular online game RuneScape, join Lance_054 (the first 53 were taken) on a quest where the audience choose what happens next! Whether you’re an experienced player or a total noob, Gigglemug Theatre present an interactive musical which will have the whole family laughing from start to finish.

RuneSical was one of 8 musicals selected to be part of MTFest 2022 at The Turbine Theatre. The show premiered in 2022 at the Gilded Balloon, marking Gigglemug Theatre’s return to the Edinburgh Fringe after 4 years. We made it onto both WhatsOnStage and The Crush Bar’s lists of the top musicals to see & The Stage, The List and Theatre Weekly’s pick of the Fringe!

In 2023, RuneSical transferred to The Town & Gown Theatre, Cambridge & Upstairs At The Gatehouse, London for its final performances where it received a Standing Ovation Nom from London Pub Theatres. We adored collaborating with Jagex (the creators of RuneScape) on this project and even got to stage a couple of private performances for them along the way!
