It’s the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025 seriesElaine chats with performer Michelle Monteith about Red Like Fruit Red Like Fruit – Traverse Theatre – various timesAward-winning Canadian theatre company 2b returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with the UK premiere of critically acclaimed playwright Hannah Moscovich’s (Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes with Hugh Jackman) honest, raw, and gut-punching play about power, reclaiming narratives, and gender. Red Like Fruit While Lauren’s been reporting on a high-profile case of domestic violence, she’s been thinking back with eerie ambivalence on a set of sexual events from her adolescence, and something in her has started to crack. Soon, Lauren can no longer comprehend her own decisions and desires (like why she asked Luke to narrate for her in the first place). Red Like Fruit interrogates the many contradictions and complexities of complicity, consent, patriarchy and traumatic memory in the post #MeToo era.TICKET LINK HERE OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.ukPersistent and Nasty join the CEC community to create a safe space & build a community for those who are marginalised in any way in the arts.Link for our Zoom meeting with Creative Entrepreneurs Clubhttps://creativeentrepreneursclub.co.uk/MAIL BAG – you can write and ask us industry related questions or general questions or maybe you have a hot take you want to chare, some tea you want to spill or a topic you want discussed on the podcast.
