High Steaks review labia love in a profoundly personal show
Edinburgh festival 2023ReviewSummerhall, Edinburgh
Eloina Haines’ performance considers her own – and other women’s – labia and the obscene pressure to make this body part conform
If the Edinburgh fringe has never really begun until the obligatory shock of full-frontal nudity, this year’s festival can be pronounced well and truly open with Eloina Haines’ one-woman act.
