From forgotten princess to fabled mother of Glasgow—step into a poetic reimagining of the legend of Thaney in 𝘔𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘦. Created and directed by poet and playwright Rebecca Sharp, this powerful tale of exile, resilience and transformation weaves dramatic verse with an evocative live score by composer Alex South.

Thaney – also known as St Enoch – was a 6th-century survivor of abuse who gave birth to the city’s founder and patron saint, Mungo. GCF brings her story to the awe-inspiring surroundings of St Mungo’s Cathedral: channeling her essence through three powerful female archetypes portrayed by Scottish actors Israëla Efomi, Taylor Dyson and Heather Cochrane. As the Lothian princess rises amidst the tumult of our contemporary world, her story asks: how do we reclaim the past to shape a different future?
