The Ostrich Principle

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026

(Mon 10-Sun 23 Aug)

The greatest stories have always opened our eyes, pricked our ears and loosened our tongues; not easy when the chaos makes us want to bury our heads. When faced with injustice, oppression and tyranny how long can we afford compliance? How long do we excuse the beast once it has learned to bite?

Two traditional storytellers rally myths, legends and folk songs in this rousing call to arms. Now is the time to pull our heads from the sand, look darkness in the eye and make a stand.
