Twa
Annie George and Flore Gardner
Thu 4th Aug - Sun 28th Aug
Time: 19:20 ( 65 mins )
Genre: Theatre
Age: 12+

A twisted, memoiristic, fairytale, blending theatrical storytelling, with Flore Gardner’s animated and live (onstage) drawings.
Twa interweaves a contemporary tale with a retelling of the gruesome Greek myth of Philomela, about women who have been silenced but find resistance through the creative act. Theatre and visual art combine to explore duality, identity, and other ways of saying things that cannot be said.
‘excellently served by a storytelling skill and stagecraft...striking composition...visual impact that truly sets it apart’ (★★★★ AllEdinburghTheatre).
'...a testimony to the creativity, strength and resilience of every woman’ (TheSkinny).
