All Apologies

“Kurt Cobain was trans. Kurt Cobain was a trans woman. What if…”

All Apologies questions our desire for trans celebrities and what happens when they do not exist - delving deep into internet discourse, classical mythology and radically mis-remembering Nirvana’s iconic 1994 MTV Unplugged concert.

Written and performed by a two time Fringe First award winner, it fights back against the pressure on trans people to mold ourselves into images that are acceptable to society and the danger that lies when we are not able to live as our full, vibrant selves.

“Such an eye opening, mind blowing show” audience member

Originally concieved as a cabaret piece performed at Trans Pride Brighton, Glastonbury Festival, Outburst Festival, Belfast and Buddies in Bad Times, Toronto - Emma has developed this into a full length solo performance, touring in 2025.

I am having a conversation with my younger self... I’m apologising.
For not having the words
For wasting time
For not learning the guitar...
For allowing myself to feel ashamed.

For not trusting myself sooner.
