Walking tour in the city centre
Did you know there are more statues dedicated to animals than named women in Edinburgh’s city centre?
Come meet the women who don’t have statues dedicated to them, but definitely contributed to the city’s history… or herstory.
MONUMENTAL is theatrical walking tour of Edinburgh’s city centre during May 2025. Produced by multi-award-winning feminist theatre company, F-Bomb Theatre, the unique experience will take audiences through the lives of five women who lived, worked and changed society in Edinburgh. Actors will portray statues that come to life and manifest themselves into the present day to tell their own stories.
Their stories are interpreted by five early-career female Edinburgh-based playwrights – Hannah Low, Jaïrus Obayomi, Rachel O’Regan, Kirin Saeed and Emery Schaffer.
Pay-what-you-can tickets will be available to limited audiences through a raffle.
