Google Scotch Bonnet ProductionsAbout the show
About a Bogle is a new folk theatre show by Scotch Bonnet Productions, running 60 minutes at The Speakeasy on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Two musicians set off across a quiet Scottish isle to reach an island festival, but the Bogle — a mischievous shapeshifter watching from the heather — has other plans. A mix of folk tales and original music brings a new version of a traditional Scottish myth to life. Tickets are £12, with a concession price of £10, and the show is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Original music, a shapeshifting trickster and a proper Scottish myth — this is the kind of 60-minute folk theatre that earns its place at the Fringe. If you enjoy storytelling with live music woven through it, About a Bogle offers something rooted and genuinely new at the same time.
