About This Event

The No Woman Is An Island festival brings a presentation to the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh on 13 November 2026. The performer, Various, presents findings on women's pursuit of alone time. Tickets cost £5.50 - £17.

Three years ago a theatremaker set out to investigate woman’s tireless pursuit of alone time. She presents her findings, veering between texts from great female thinkers, banal thoughts about crockery and intimate vignettes from a marriage. No Woman is an Island is a meditation on geographies of the Self. It maps the internal and external spaces in which we live our lives while walking a wonky line through cultural theories and histories of female solitude. With sharp humour and quiet ferocity, the piece creates an intimate and thoughtful space for audiences to consider the relationship between productivity and identity.
