About the show
Woman is a 60-minute one-woman music and theatre show by Echo: Amplifying Women's Voices in the Arts, performed at the Subway venue at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Inspired by Robert Schumann's Frauen-Liebe und Leben, the show reimagines classical art song in collision with cabaret and musical theatre, exploring love, loss, desire and identity through a radically modern lens. Seductive, raw and bold, it presents womanhood as it should have been told. Tickets are £10. Suitable for ages 18 and over. The show involves audience participation and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A daring one-woman show that explodes the classical recital into cabaret and musical theatre, rewriting the historical script of womanhood. Unapologetically bold and genuinely felt — something that demands to be heard.
