Troubled Waters
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026
(Fri 7-Sun 30 Aug: 2:30pm)
Leaping salmon, fishtail women, mythical raves and sacred springs – these legends celebrate those who question the fixed and find their own flow. Troubled Waters transports audiences into a world where ancient folklore intertwines with contemporary themes. Whether you come for the laughs or the watery wisdom, you'll dip your toes into vital waters and explore what moves beneath the surface.
Described by audiences as ‘delicious’, ‘captivating', ‘sexy’ and ‘brilliant’, this storytelling show explores our connection to waterways, wetlands and their inhabitants.
'Genuinely very funny... A masterful storyteller’ (BackstageBristol.com)
