Was Kurt Cobain trans? Was Kurt Cobain a trans woman? What if? No Apologies delves deep into internet discourse and classical mythology – radically mis-remembering Nirvana’s iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. It fights back against the pressure to mould ourselves into images that are acceptable to society and the danger that lies when we are not able to live as our full, vibrant selves. ‘Emma Frankland is the punk rock angel of your dreams and nightmares…’ (Stage).

Guardian Review

https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/delusional-i-killed-a-man

A contemporary circus solo that embarks on a trans woman’s journey. The show explores the haunting feeling of having murdered one’s former self, a common experience for many trans people when leaving their assigned gender behind. Through a multidisciplinary repertoire such as aerials, dance, singing and physical theatre, Diana Salles invites us to reflect on the physical and emotional strength it takes to honour one’s truth. The combination of aerial silks, beautiful images and mesmerising music makes you want to hug the artist. A heart-stopping circus show that unravels the beauty of self-discovery.

Suburbia is Jonny Woo’s most personal show to date. A return to his spoken word, story-telling and performance art roots, Suburbia is a poetic memoir about his life from childhood in the Medway Towns, to discovering ecstasy in the 90s, the clubs of New York and a queer community in London. Now in his fifties, Woo is more reflective and honest about the secrets he harboured and the lessons he learnt. Woo’s wit is as sharp as ever and his desire to shock and surprise is evident throughout.
