Bloody Elle

Elle meets Eve. Her eyes are green like guacamole, she has posh-hair and a freckle on her chin and when she touches Elle’s arm…the world spins off its axis.

This loud, proud love story is heart-warmingly honest and belly-achingly funny. Stuffed full of those stomach-flipping-time-stopping moments that everyone will recognise.

It’s brutal. It's beautiful. It’s a “moment moment.”

Returning for a strictly limited run after a sell-out TravFest22, Bloody Elle is a gig musical full of searing original music performed live on stage. Building loops and layers of sound, you are transported to a 10,000-seat arena with a ten-piece band or to an intimate sweaty, packed-out gig in the back of a pub.

Grab a pint, and let’s go.

Bloody Elle is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
