About The Event
This event is part of the Out There Fringe Fest’26 performance programme, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
No Apologies is a radical, queer mis-remembering of Nirvana‘s iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. After a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival in 2025 (winning the Bragi Award for creativity and artistic excellence and a Besties Award for new writing) this brilliantly witty and emotionally powerful show embarks on a major world tour.
Urgent and politically sharp, No Apologies is a spectacular collision between theatre and grunge, autobiography and alternate history, weaving together threads of pop culture with mythology and ritual, fuelled by the experience of coming-of-age in the nineties.
“This is precisely the kind of fearless, formally inventive, emotionally devastating theatre the medium needs.” The Theatre Times
