Ma Name Is Isabelle
Performed by Lucy Beth ahead of her appearance at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ma Name Is Isabelle is a reimagining of the story behind the famous bothy ballad Bogies Bonnie Belle.
Told entirely in Doric, the traditional dialect spoken in the North-East of Scotland, this spoken-word performance unveils the story of Isabelle, a young woman who was impregnated against her will by her lover, James, on her fathers farm. She expresses the challenges she encountered in her relationship with James and emotionally conveys the conflicts she faced as she navigated life as an unmarried mother whose son was taken from her.
Come along to the Cafe Bar this July for a journey marked by resilience, strength and triumph over adversity!
