The Eight Faces of Ellie Morrison

Edinburgh 2026

Directed by Emmy-winning director Karen Arthur, an aimless fighter and his rising rockstar sister collide in a high-energy play that fuses mixed martial arts with live music. This bold, first-of-its-kind production explores courage, identity and the consequences of choice. As one sibling charges forward and the other hesitates, both are forced to confront who they are and what they truly want. Blending the spectacle of sport with the electricity of live performance, the show captures the raw immediacy only theatre can offer.
