Edinburgh Fringe

Five "mad" women perform for a seemingly "sane" audience. They're here to entertain - but as their lives and deaths play out it becomes unclear what's real, pretend, and what's a warning. Songs are sung and jokes are made, but beneath the merriment there's something else - something hidden. Hysterical harpies based on real women kick and scream their way into the present in this time-bending freefall through the history of women's mental health, patriarchal oppression and things left unsaid for too long.
