About Hannah Strauss
Making its Edinburgh Fringe debut from New York City, this darkly comic, confessional one-woman show follows Harper, who unknowingly slept with her sperm-donor father. The show traces the fallout of that discovery as shame, grief and reckless desire collide in one woman's search for love. Written by Emmy-nominated writer Renwick McAslan, the piece navigates dating apps, modern polyamory and kink acronyms to ask why, in a culture obsessed with connection, it remains so hard to feel held.
Why see this show?
Raw, funny and unflinchingly honest — this New York debut tackles one of the most confronting premises at the Fringe with dark comedy and real emotional depth. Expect strong language and distressing themes handled with defiant wit.
