The new play, WOMAN ON FIRE, aims to raise the profile of Edith and the issues she was passionate about – women’s rights and social & welfare rights.
Certain Curtain Theatre Company, who featured in our Winter Edition of Podio, are taking their latest play to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August (where it will be eligible for a fringe first award!)
Anyone wanting to learn more about and possibly help fund the play should visit their crowdfunding page.
Alternatively, if you’re heading to the Fringe and want to grab tickets, they are now available here.

Claire Moore of Certain Curtain Theatre Co. told Podio, “we’re hoping to do a premiere performance in Preston’s Winckley Square, where Edith lived, before taking off for the renowned festival.”
When we hear more we’ll be sure to pass on the message! For more information or to discuss sponsorship options visit their website.
