Storyteller Kirsty Logan, folksinger Kirsty Law, and harpist Esther Swift go deep on ‘the double’ for their feminist reimagining of Hogg’s Confessions in contemporary times. In their story, Gill Todd is a young woman growing up in a cult, who is then thrust into the disorienting, never-private social landscape of 21st century Scotland. Drawing on Scottish folk history, feminism, and Naomi Klein, and featuring Edinburgh Community Choir, this innovative, eclectic work shows the Sinner in an entirely new light.
