“If you have a mother, you get it.”
WHO: Victoria Cook & Jane Bruce
WHAT: “A heartfelt, humorous investigation into the things mothers pass onto their daughters – for better or worse. The play is tender, raw, and cry-till-you-laugh funny. Starring Broadway’s Jane Bruce (Jagged Little Pill) and Victoria Cook (Into the Woods), ‘one of the most unique sounding voices ever!’ (BroadwayWorld.com). With a striking original score by Bruce, whose ‘lyrical leaning and folk guitar style call to mind Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin’ (Holler.Country). If you have a mother, you get it.”
WHERE: Greenside @ Infirmary Street – Mint Studio (Venue 236)
WHEN: 11:30 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
Victoria: This is my 4th Fringe! I came the first time when I was 16, and Edinburgh and the festival immediately cast their spell on me. This is my first Fringe producing my own work, so it sort of feels like my first.
Jane: I’ve come before to experience the festival, but this is my first time taking part! It’s wild!
Victoria: We’re both really loving how the Festival and Greenside have embraced us.
Jane: Especially as first-time producers!
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2022 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
Victoria: I would say – trusting your gut. Just really listening to yourself.
Jane: Good one! Yes. Learning to trust my own instincts.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
“Nan, Me and Barbara Pravi” was a fantastic one-woman show – honest and fun, and unexpected!
“A Mountain for Elodie” by Benjamin Scheuer is one of our top picks! We can’t wait to hear his new music after seeing “The Lion” in New York.
“Dark Noon” looks really special!
