About Nicholsons Upstage
An Evening of Bull is an amateur cabaret and storytelling production from Nicholsons Upstage, presented at main house, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show reinterprets the ancient myth of the Minotaur through the eyes of Ariadne — no bystander here, but a force of change who dares to challenge the myths upholding patriarchal control. Driven by a genre-blending score and powerful, poetic storytelling, both psychological and political, the production transports audiences into a living labyrinth. Running 45 minutes, suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
A bold feminist retelling of a Greek myth, dressed in cabaret and delivered with political conviction. At 45 minutes it is tightly focused and leaves little room for filler — a good option for those who like their storytelling with teeth.
