Description
Gruoch is a feminist, myth-centred examination of the bereaved and abused girl who became Lady Macbeth as an act of revenge for the death of her father. She did indeed manipulate Macbeth to kill Duncan, but not through vaulting ambition... this "icon of evil" may be the power behind the throne, but as the only woman left alive, her power is used to avenge. A new solo performance, written by David Calcutt and performed by award-winning actor Caroline Burns Cooke.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.

Best thing I've seen at the Fringe. Caroline Cooke's performance in this Lady Macbeth back story is a tour de force. This is a powerful and dramatic piece of writing brought to life in this emotionally charged dramatisation.

Compelling drama, steeped in myth and blood, offering an interpretation of Lady Macbeth’s early life - and motivation.
Caroline Burns Cooke is absolutely hypnotic in this one woman show.
A lovely little theatre, too, over in the New Town. Well worth hunting down.
