We are delighted to be taking Betsi to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24-29 August 2026, performing at theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall, the perfect venue for our story about the Welsh Nurse History Forgot!
Betsi is a one act version of our play Daughter of Bala, the Story of Betsi Cadwaladr.
We are super excited to take Betsi to Scotland!
Following sell-out Welsh tours, Her Story Theatre Company presents Betsi – the electrifying story of Betsi Cadwaladr.
From humble beginnings to globetrotting adventures, Betsi’s extraordinary life culminates in her most daring venture: in her sixties, defying all conventions, she sailed to the Crimean battlefield to serve as a nurse, where she famously clashed with Florence Nightingale herself.
Through flashbacks and poignant interviews, this superb script by Welsh playwright Adele Cordner brings Betsi’s indomitable spirit to life with heart-stopping excitement and tender humanity.
Prepare to laugh, cry and be swept away by this unforgettable theatrical experience celebrating a true trailblazer.

This is an innovative and humorous performance bringing to light the little-known story of Doreen Davey, who fought for hours to land the largest line caught salmon ever fished from the River Wye in 1923!
We combine puppetry with live performance, telling this remarkable story in a (very) light-hearted and engaging way.
It was originally premiered as part of the Voices for the Wye event.
The salmon puppet is life-sized and to quote a previous review: “The fish was off the scales!”
Three Short Performances on People, Places and Purpose.
