"Trained as a man; treated as a woman".
Julie's always lived on the edge - the blade's edge. Julie D'Aubigny - a gender fluid, sword wielding, opera singing badass with an eye for a pretty face and a blade for an angry suitor. Julie lives life on her terms. She's going to find her place in the world and no one will stop her.
Not even God.
But she's just burned down some serious real estate – and he's not going to forgive her that easily.
1688, Paris. Julie stands in front of the blazing convent she's just burned down. Dressed in a nun's habit with the body of her teenage lover over her shoulder; the lover she's just rescued and who's in full swoon, she's on the run again.
But that's the least of Julie's problems. Hot on their heels are her lover's parents, her fencing master ex-boyfriend, her husband and the King of France.
The Blade's Edge stars Bryony Tebbutt who conceived the idea and collaborated with Tony Voller and Lisa McKinnon who wrote and directed the award-winning play ADDICT.
Bryony Tebbutt - "Outstanding – impossible to keep your eyes away."
ADDICT - "A gem of new writing." .
