Edinburgh Fringe Festival: The Yellow Wallpaper

Annie will be heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2026 with The Yellow Wallpaper!

The Yellow Wallpaper is a psychological thriller dance-theater adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s iconic tale. The story centers on Jane, a 19th-century woman, who is prescribed "The Rest Cure" by her husband-doctor and confined to a room adorned with yellow wallpaper. During her months of isolation, Jane begins to hallucinate that there is a woman trapped inside the walls. The play weaves the classic text with evocative choreography, bringing the room to life for a chilling, immersive experience.
