Gone to the Dogs

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 @ Gilded Balloon

Presented by Thistle and Rose Arts

Alone in her shabby bedsit, a forgotten Britannia sits, haunted by tunes on the radio and memories of a faded past, singing grief and lost glory.

Moving through a world of shadows from Arthurian myth to Brexit malaise, this mesmeric mix of theatre and song cycle explores imperial nostalgia, war memorialisation and the impossible longing for a lost golden age. Looped madrigals and cabaret cantatas mix with violin odes to evoke the fractured rituals of a magpie past.

Written & Performed by TSarzi

Produced by Hannah Crawford, Olivia Tetlow & Aoife Summers
