Episode 258: Edinburgh Festival Series - Red Like Fruit with Michelle Montieth

Persistent and Nasty

It’s the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025 series Elaine chats with performer Michelle Monteith about Red Like Fruit Red Like Fruit – Traverse Theatre – various times Award-winning Canadian theatre company 2b returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with the UK premiere of critically acclaimed playwright Hannah Moscovich’s (Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes with Hugh Jackman) honest, raw, and gut-punching play about power, reclaiming narratives, and gender. Red Like Fruit While Lauren’s been reporting on a high-profile case of domestic violence, she’s been thinking back with eerie ambivalence on a set of sexual events from her adolescence, and something in her has started to crack. Soon, Lauren can no longer comprehend her own decisions and desires (like why she asked Luke to narrate for her in the first place). Red Like Fruit interrogates the many contradictions and complexities of complicity, consent, patriarchy and traumatic memory in the post #MeToo era.
