COVERING THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL SINCE 1996
BI-TOPIA (Sam Danson With Emmerson & Ward)
A show that will certainly speak to some, but will educate many. As someone who is bisexual, I have truly never found a show that so perfectly depicts how conflicting and difficult this inner-journey is. Sam Danson’s script blends humorous moments with poignant scenes of an inner war, as Sam tries to discover himself. Nothing feels forced here, but it’s a challenging – though very rewarding – piece of theatre, so it may not be for everyone due to its nature. But it’s a tremendous production, especially in the sound department, and with the battle-ground staging, everything is well thought out. Whether you are in the LGBTQ+ community or not, this show is worthy to be seen.
Underbelly Cowgate, until 25 Aug.
