Spinster
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026
(Sat 22-Sun 30 Aug)
Witch! Hag! Spinster!
Words are powerful – even one can tell a whole story. This storytelling show welcomes you into the spinster's cottage, but what will you find there? A financially independent woman with a honed skill and craft, or an evil-doing hag waiting to snatch your child?
Journey through three Scottish folktales that illustrate the change in the meaning of the word spinster, and thus the changing role of women in the Middle Ages. Spin together the threads of ancient tales and unpick the tapestry of the demonisation of women with storyteller Frankie Regalia.
