A high-risk, ensemble aerial show that uses a 30-meter rope and a live counterweight system to explore trust, balance, and the dynamics of relationships, with moments that invite the audience to become part of the world on stage.
Edinburgh Fringe Preview 2026 (pt. 3) | The Last Drop, By A Thread, The Great Chevalier
Q: Can you tell us about The Last Drop?
It's a dark comedy about a couple dealing with a water leak that spirals into a larger meditation on how cities are built, the history behind historic buildings, and the human stories living inside them.
John Crosbie - Agnes Owens: The Centenary Editions
Q: What challenges did Owens face in achieving recognition, and what gives you hope for wider readership today?
Her work faced elitism and gender/class barriers in Scottish literature, but the archival projects and new introductions by contemporary women writers signal a growing appreciation and a chance for Owens to reach a broader audience.
