It has everything from ambitious acrobatics with a feminist message, to a one-woman performance highlighting the plight of those targeted in witch trials.

The Edinburgh Fringe programme is more eclectic than ever – and female performers say that’s cause for celebration.

And audiences have a part to play in that, too.
