A Gothic Victorian promenade for small audiences around secret spaces in a Masonic lodge by award-winning 'theatrical maverick' (Financial Times) and 'site-specific genius' (Scotsman) David Leddy. Read more …
A haunting, darkly comic tale of yet another chorus girl burning to death. Meet Flora McIvor and witness her meteoric rise to power in a corrupt music hall. Bloodthirsty coup or red velvet revolution? The management are getting away with murder.
Book early, tickets limited.
Here's what the Programming Panel said: Sub Rosa is an ambitious and innovative production from director and writer David Leddy. As one of Scotland's most prolific practitioners Leddy represents work that pushes boundaries and as such is a key cultural ambassador which makes him an ideal contributor to the showcase.
Something altogether more unnerving, more profound, more insistently of our own times.
The tight space allows the audience to appreciate the compelling detail and nuances of the performances.
Sub Rosa conjures a mournful, bleakly comic world to perfection.
Leddy works in Masonic motifs and references to the potential darker side of a 'fraternal organisation'.
It's all rather frustrating.
Sub Rosa will probably still be the best thing [people] see at the Fringe this year.
Deliciously strange.
More than a gothic shocker, this is a tantalising glimpse behind the footlights of theatre history.
There's surely no creepier show on the Fringe.
A fantastic experience.
