Traverse Theatre
Traverse Theatre, 10 Cambridge Street, Edinburgh EH1 2ED
No Apologies is a radical mis-remembering of Nirvana’s iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. After a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival in 2025 (winning the Bragi Award for creativity and artistic excellence and a Besties Award for new writing) this brilliantly witty and emotionally powerful show embarks on a major world tour. Urgent and politically sharp, No Apologies is a spectacular collision between theatre and grunge, autobiography and alternate history, weaving together threads of pop culture with mythology and ritual, fuelled by the experience of coming-of-age in the nineties. Written and performed by Emma Frankland, multi award-winning writer for theatre and TV. With spectacular direction from Harry Clayton Wright, featuring original music and an anarchic sound score by punk composer Keir Cooper, produced by Marlborough Productions - nationally and internationally recognised producers of queer-led, intersectional performance.
