Dispatches on the Red Dress is an intimate and courageous new solo show by twice BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning songwriter Rowan Rheingans.
A Fringe First award-winner at 2019's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, adventurous new writing meets the warmth of a folk gig in this heartfelt and personal one woman show, uniquely weaving immersive storytelling with live fiddle, banjo and original songs taken from Rowan's brand new genre-melding debut solo album The Lines We Draw Together (The Guardian's Folk Album of the Month).
Unravelling the joy and pain from a story of her grandmother's youth in 1940's Germany, Rowan celebrates small acts of resistance and boldly asks a troubling question for our times: can hope for our future be found in the very darkest pockets of our history?
Fringe First Award 2019
'Vivid songwriting and composing… spectacularly beautiful' Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
'Utterly spellbinding singing and narration… and as the red dress' true origin unfolds, the revelation will leave you quietly breathless' The Scotsman ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'Sublime… a narrative stitched with the subtlety of an expert dressmaker… celebrates family, nature and the ties that bind and goes on to pack a fierce political punch.' The Guardian ⭐⭐⭐⭐
