Premiering at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, The Cut of Her Jib is a sharp, gin-soaked comedy about marriage, class, menopause, friendship and the suspicious disappearance of a husband on Hogmanay. Set during one stormy Edinburgh night, the play brings together a wife, a possible mistress and a cleaner, armed with little more than a bottle of gin and thirty years of resentment. What follows is a fiercely funny and darkly cathartic exploration of female rage, reinvention and survival. Kathleen Ruddy's previous work includes Glasgow Hard Tickets, Sex, Chips & Ouzo, Spare Ribs, The Devil Wears Primark, Death of a Playboy and Check Your Coupon. Her productions have collectively received more than fifty five-star reviews and have earned both a Fringe First Award and the BT Award for Comedy.
