Flitting between Margaret Thatcher, Marilyn Monroe and Virginia Woolf, Susanna Hislop explores definitions, diagnoses, and bipolar disorder, which Woolf, and possibly Monroe had. Faintly autobiographical in parts, the show aims to take a funny yet still serious look at key issues, which can affect women.

How Does A Snake Shed Its Skin is on at 16.35, in the Red Lecture Theatre, Summerhall, until the 24th August 2014.
