Edinburgh 2025: Emily Woof looks back to '60s feminism and John Lennon

Actor and author Emily Woof is best known for her film and TV work such as Mandy in The Full Monty, Shannon in Velvet Goldmine and Nancy in Oliver Twist, but she has also written novels and devised her own theatre pieces.

At this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, she is performing her own solo play, Revolver, directed by her husband, Hamish McColl, writer and co-founder of theatre company The Right Size.

BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Emily during her Edinburgh run about the play's subject matter, its predecessor piece at the 1993 Fringe, her devising process and her other writing work.

Revolver, produced by Shared Experience, opened at Pleasance Courtyard on 14 August and runs daily at 2:20PM until 25 August 2025.
