Emily Knutsson writes and performs this one-woman comedy show at Pickle Studio as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe, presented by Ready or Knut Productions. The show follows Mary, a troubled new student at Cambridge University who has concluded that medieval monks and modern academics are essentially identical. Raunchy, irreverent and biblically influenced, it invites audiences to question assumptions about sex and the Middle Ages, offering a fresh approach to those subjects in a debut solo performance.
Why see this show?
A debut one-woman show that finds unexpected comedy in the medieval and the modern — sex, academia and a very specific kind of identity crisis. Emily Knutsson writes and performs, making it something distinct.
