About Tiny Table Reads
Shitbag is a darkly comedic and life-affirming one-person play by Hayley Edwards, performed by Tiny Table Reads at the Anatomy Lecture Theatre, Summerhall. The show follows a young genderqueer person through a Crohn's Disease diagnosis, a hypo-manic episode, colostomy bag fears, queer sex, and questions of morality and mortality. Edwards brings their debut play to Edinburgh with the Edinburgh Touring Award after two extended seasons in Melbourne. The show runs 60 minutes and is for adults aged 18 and above. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
A bold, candid and ultimately life-affirming piece of solo theatre that tackles chronic illness, mental health and queer identity with equal measures of honesty and dark humour. Edwards has refined this debut work over multiple runs, and the result is something with genuine emotional and theatrical weight.
