Our first of three Fringe shows this year... Sweet!
An original play written by Hilary Spiers. Edinburgh, early 19th century. The struggle for the abolition of slavery gathers pace. Widowed matriarch Nelly is newly converted to the cause, even though her family’s fortunes, along with much of the city, are built on the slave trade. Fighting powerful men with vested interests, including Nelly’s sons, who will stop at nothing to protect their wealth, Nelly must choose between conscience and family. Through her maid Jeanie’s eyes, we witness that struggle. Might the resourceful women exploit the notorious Scottish sweet tooth to advance the cause?
Tickets for all 3 Fringe shows are now up on the EGTG website! Stay tuned for cast announcements for our other 2 shows this August, The Bear and Plano.
