Lily Edwards and Emma ZetterbergProfessional company

60 minutesBlether
Romantasy. Brooding fae warriors. Enemies to lovers. Formulaic titles. Anne knows these stories inside and out. She crafts her own elaborate romantasy daydream – where she is kidnapped by Dragomir, a dangerously powerful, ridiculously attractive fae and conscripted into battle against the Wraiths. It's absurd. It's dramatic. And it's easier than facing the chronic pain consuming her real life.

About Lily Edwards and Emma Zetterberg

Of Fire and Flame is a 60-minute fantasy comedy theatre piece by Lily Edwards and Emma Zetterberg, performed at Blether as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The show follows Anne, who crafts an elaborate romantasy daydream — complete with brooding fae warriors, enemies to lovers arcs and formulaic titles — where she is kidnapped by Dragomir, a dangerously powerful and ridiculously attractive fae, and conscripted into battle against the Wraiths. It is absurd and dramatic, and exists as an escape from the chronic pain consuming her real life.

Why see this show?

A comedy that knows its genre inside out — Anne's romantasy daydream is both a loving send-up of the form and a quietly honest piece about escapism and chronic pain. Funny, warm and genuinely inventive.
