Description:
One of THE shows of Edinburgh 2024. A wildly theatrical, darkly comic, and deeply intimate reckoning with the myths and misconceptions of female madness.
This is a moving requiem for Leah’s grandmother Gwen, who was incarcerated for seeking independence in 1960s Australia. Created by Leah Shelton and directed by Olivier award-winning Ursula Martinez, this one-woman tour-de-force tears apart the labels used to control and undermine women through razor-sharp wit, raw storytelling, and unflinching performance.
Winner, Scotsman Fringe First & Mental Health Foundation Fringe Awards at Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
