Anais Mitchell
  • Edinburgh Fringe

Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter from the world of narrative folk song, poetry and balladry. Recorded works include Child Ballads, Young Man in America, and Hadestown, the latter of which she expanded into a musical. Hadestown opened at Londons National Theatre in November 2018 and transferred to Broadway in 2019. She won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award and the Folk Alliance International Spirit of Folk Award. The common thread in her work is that she's as interested in the world around her as the one inside her. 'A formidable songwriting talent' (New York Times).

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
