Description
'She’s off her trolley. Nuttier than a fruitcake. A couple of kangaroos loose in the top paddock.' Women have long been locked up, pathologised and silenced by a simple label – crazy. Batshit is a wildly theatrical and deeply intimate story of female madness. Created by psycho-siren Leah Shelton and directed by Olivier award-winning Ursula Martinez, this is a requiem for Leah’s grandmother Gwen, who was incarcerated for seeking independence in 1960s Australia. Batshit draws on personal stories, pop psychology and Prozac-laden humour to explore the myths that keep us compliant and the systems that let us down.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
