Niall Moorjani is an award-winning and critically acclaimed Scottish-Indian, non-binary and neurodiverse writer, storyteller and theatre maker based between Edinburgh and London. They have performed all over the world, from Delhi to New York to old York. They create for both children and adults, dealing with themes inclduing queerness, anti-colonialism, myth and legend. At the core of all their work is hope, joy and kindness. Kanpur: 1857 won a coveted Fringe First Award from the Scotsman in 2025 described as ‘one of the most important political dramas at this year’s festival’.
Deiseil: Dancing in Time by Alison Carlyle and Amy Geddes is a powerful exploration of how stepdance, Scotland’s percussive dance, was lost... and how its revival became woven into a lifelong friendship. "Deiseil" means "ready" in Scottish Gaelic: be ready for a mesmerising reflection on how issues of culture, identity and connection still resonate through society today. Described by the Scotsman as ‘the most joyful show I’ve seen so far this Fringe, ★★★★★'.
Fair Saturday Edinburgh is kindly supported by the City of Edinburgh Council.
