About the show
atticwife is a new dark comedy from RnL Productions performed at Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Astrid Fisher is an influencer who goes from tradwife to trapped-wife when her husband locks her in their attic. She insists she's happy up there — but some viewers aren't convinced. When a concerned viewer breaks in to rescue her, Astrid is forced to question whether the life she has built as a traditional woman is as perfect as she has always claimed, or whether she is in serious danger. The show runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and above.
Why see this show?
A sharp, darkly funny new play that uses the tradwife trend as a lens for something far more unsettling. RnL Productions tackles coercive control and female identity with wit and genuine tension.
