Athens of the North
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025
(1-23 Aug: 3:15pm)
"Edinburgh’s a village, eh. Villages dinny normally huv castles, palaces and parliaments. But we do. And in villages, everybody kens everybody. Whether ye like it or no."
An interwoven, episodic monologue and love letter to Edinburgh’s past, present and future. Against the backdrop of an eroding city, characters weave in and out of each other’s lives in a stream of consciousness set over a single day.
Written and performed by Mark Hannah, this compelling and poignant story explores what home means to us.
