About the show
Bloody Mary's is a 60-minute historical musical theatre show by Fat Pooch Productions at theSpace @ Venue 45. Set in 1823 in an Edinburgh riddled with greed and decay, Mary McKinnon is queen of the night, running a successful brothel until one night of violence changes everything. When gentlemen turn ungentlemanly and demand more than Mary is willing to give, blood becomes the new currency. The show is a night of song and dance giving voice to the women of Edinburgh's past. Suitable for 16 and over, with multiple content warnings including scenes of violence and sexual violence.
