WEDNESDAY 5TH APRIL DAN CLEWS EDINBURGH FESTIVAL

Unreserved Tickets£12.50

And the Rope Still Tugging Her Feet - Caroline Burns Cooke - currently on a European Tour this play is a one-woman dramatisation of the Kerry Babies scandal of 1984. Burns Cooke takes on multiple roles as she tells the story of a single mother erroneously accused of the murder of a newborn baby.The play launches straight into the high emotions of the story, beginning with Burns Cooke crawling across the floor crying and praying. There are funny moments later on, however, such as the character of a Dublin radical lesbian feminist explaining the conservatism of rural Ireland in the 1980s while she swigs alcohol. Burns Cooke does a good job and it is a compelling performance. The audience were completely drawn into this shocking story of misogyny, police corruption and the intolerance of the Irish church that happened well within living memory. Followed by :

Why is John Lennon Wearing a Kilt Claire DowieWritten AND performed by Claire Dowie here at the Guild Hall A comic journey through female roles and dress codes via "the knicker factor"school discos and through the eyes of one young woman who wants to be a Beatle.An articulate and passionate invective against obligatory femininity
