This event has now finished.

Morag's death left a silence in her place.

When her Canadian granddaughter Sam inherits Morag’s piano, Sam also inherits the mystery of her Scottish granny’s story. An intimate letter composed of fragmented ballads leads Sam to uncover Morag’s possible queerness and find a voice of her own.

This dynamic, experimental musical is a love letter to ancestors who “didn’t fit” that playfully warps, disrupts and reconfigures traditional Scottish ballad singing. Audiences are invited on a journey where original compositions are interwoven with electronic loops to tell old stories anew.

Morag at Edinburgh Fringe

The show adeptly juxtaposes levity and tragedy - celebrating queerness, while mourning the oppression of past generations and addressing generational trauma. That’s not an easy thing to do.

Stir Arts & Culture

The show is a terrific, inspiring and innovative approach to Scottish storytelling
