She's Behind You premieres at Traverse Festival

8 July 2025

She's Behind You, an original new pantomime, will premiere at the Traverse Festival in Edinburgh from 25 July to 24 August. The show, written and starring Johnny McKnight, explores his two-decade career in panto, expanding the traditional form beyond its usual margins and peeling back the curtain of its creation. McKnight has written over thirty pantomimes throughout his career, and She's Behind You is set to bring those shows together into a story pushing at the bounds of identity.

She's Behind You was commissioned by the National Theatre of Scotland, presented by the Traverse Festival, and is directed by the award-winning John Tiffany. Tickets can be purchased on the National Theatre of Scotland website.
