Elbow Deep (WIP)

Edinburgh 2026

Unable to face the pain of her grief, Agnes withdraws from the world. But when her husband inherits a crumbling farm on a Scottish island, it offers the chance to start again. As lambing season arrives they must learn how to take care of a hundred neglected sheep and that it takes a village to survive. A soaring new folk musical about love, loss, and finding joy again by Elinor Peregrin. This is a chance to see a brand new piece of work from a rising star as a part of Shedinburgh.
