BATSHIT

This Edinburgh Fringe First winning daring, poignant and witty one-woman show rips the lid off the myths of female madness.

Fresh from an award-winning run at Edinburgh Fringe, psycho-siren Leah Shelton’s acclaimed work BATSHIT, directed by Olivier award-winning Ursula Martinez, is a powerful reckoning with the myths and misconceptions of female madness.

A theatrical gut-punch inspired by her grandmother’s incarceration for seeking independence in 1960s Australia, this one-woman tour de force tears apart the labels used to control and undermine women through razor-sharp wit, raw storytelling, and unflinching performance.

Winner – Scotsman Fringe First & Mental Health Foundation Fringe Awards at Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
