About the show
Apples in Winter is a one-woman drama by LynchPin Theatre, performed at The Annexe at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Miriam's son has been on death row for 22 years. At midnight the state will execute him. His last request is his mother's apple pie. As Miriam bakes, this deeply compassionate play by Jennifer Fawcett invites the audience to reflect on the impact of violent crime on its hidden victims — those left behind. Running 70 minutes, age guidance is 14+. The show contains references to knife crime and addiction.
Why see this show?
A solo performance of rare emotional precision — Miriam's story of baking a pie for a condemned son is quiet, devastating, and humane in equal measure. A one-woman play that refuses easy answers and trusts its audience entirely.
