Bitty-Bat receives an OUTSTANDING SHOW review at Edinburgh Fringe!
"Bitty-Bat! is a hilarious, strange half-hour that you are unlikely to see anywhere else. Emily Jeffers’s creature, part bat/maybe vampire, is a delight to watch and anything but predictable. An imaginative, weird, incredible piece of solo theatre." -Erin Murray Quinlan, FringeReview.co.uk
