This intimate show invites the audience into a multimedia coming-of-age story about my life growing up as a working-class girl in Edinburgh and my powerful connection to Scotland.

Join me for a journey that crosses borders and boundaries, over seas and time, weaving through the depths of pain unraveled and joy rediscovered.
