TÁIN is well underway Scottish Storytelling Centre Edinburgh Festival Fringe

We've been selling out every day and have had some excellent reviews from audiences and reviewers alike.

★★★★★ “Storytelling at its best” (Derek Awards Edinburgh Fringe)
★★★★ “an intimate, immersive, compelling tag-team rendition of the Táin that feels full and complete in its short runtime.” (Æ - All Edinburgh Theatre)
★★★★ “a must-see for lovers of myth and the power of storytelling.” (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine)

"Some stories beg to be told. Others demand it. Táin blasts into your imagination, and makes the Epic both personal and contemporary at the same time. Steeped in myth, David Hughes and Mark Borthwick work seamlessly blending story and electro rhythm to create a story truly for our times". Peter Chand

If you'd like to join us for an electric immersion into ancient Irish myth, a whole winter in an hour and some good old fashioned bloody bovine theft then please come along! Every day except the 19th at 15:45.
