AUNTIE EMPIRE

By Julia Taudevin 

Auntie is a sweet old dear. All she wants is to regale us with tales of dear old Blighty, but her body is falling to bloody bits. Oh dear.

Auntie has gathered us all to relive and celebrate our glorious shared past, but unfortunately she also has some tragic, terrible, and most pressing news. And she needs your help.

An absurd and rambunctious solo show blending bouffon comedy, satire and audience interaction, Auntie Empire is a bloody, messy, hilarious and timely lampoon of the myths of nationhood.

Having conquered the screen in a short film of the same name, directed by Julia Taudevin and Niamh McKeown (BBC and Hulu’s Dinosaur), before making a sneak peek appearance as part of Snapshots at Manipulate Festival 2025 and again at Summerhall on 22nd August 2025, Auntie Empire makes her splendiferous return to the stage in early 2026. Stay tuned!
