Description
Morag's death left a silence in her place. When her Canadian granddaughter Sam inherits Morag's piano, Sam also inherits the mystery of her Scottish granny's story. An intimate letter composed of fragmented ballads leads Sam to uncover Morag's possible queerness and discover a voice of her own. This dynamic, experimental musical is a love letter to ancestors who "didn't fit" that playfully warps, disrupts and reconfigures traditional Scottish ballad singing. Audiences are invited on a journey where original compositions are interwoven with electronic loops to tell old stories anew.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.

Much like UV light on a crow (my favourite line of the show, by the way), Morag adds colour and illumination to dark topics and dark corners of family lore. I think anyone from a background with a culture of 'we don't talk about that' will appreciate seeing silence filled instead with warmth, music and love. Had a ceilidh, had a dance party, went home and cried about my grandparents, 10/10

Illuminating, Innovative and very special! A very personal journey of self discovery and a show which blurs the boundaries between theatre & musical, past & present and pokes & prods, questioning the status quo and long held behaviours.
