Was Kurt Cobain a trans woman?
What if?
No Apologies delves deep into internet discourse and classical mythology; radically mis-remembering Nirvana’s iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged concert.

Company info:
Emma is an award winning writer, theatre maker and performer, whose work is often playfully destructive, and gloriously irreverent.
Over the past decade, Emma’s status has been established as a prominent and innovative English theatre artist, whose work has often focussed on issues around gender identity and politically motivated performances.
Her collection of five solo performances are published by Methuen - None of Us is Yet a Robot - Five Performances on Gender Identity and the Politics of Transition. In 2023 she co-adapted John Lyly’s classic play Galatea which was performed as part of Brighton Festival and is published by Bloomsbury.
Her work has been performed internationally in Indonesia, Brazil, Canada and across the UK and Europe and she was featured in the 2013 British Council Showcase with an anarchic adaptation of ʻDon Quijoteʼ. In 2019 she created “We Dig” which physically demolished the iconic OvalHouse theatre with a cast of trans femmes from around the world.
She is an Associate Artist with Marlborough Productions and has written several episodes for Channel 4's iconic continuing drama Hollyoaks. She currently has a full length play, TRAP, in development.
