The Amazing Doctor She Medicine Show heads to the Edinburgh Fringe for a weeklong run at Dovecot Studios.

Using a madcap blend of humor, games, speculative fiction, interactive storytelling and totally gross medical facts, this piece imaginatively reconstructs the life of Doctor She, a literary figure from Bocaccio and Shakespeare whose story stands in for countless other forgotten and discounted female healers throughout history.

Originally dreamed up by Phoebe Brooks and Katie Fanning (together, A Manly Enterprise) in winter 2023, The Amazing Doctor She Medicine Show had a successful crowdfunding campaign culminating in NYC previews in June 2024.
