The Loch of Love

'My lonely Ness is killing me...'

Nessie is a legend – and this is her story. Rising from the depths of Loch Ness, she takes the stage at last, here to set the record straight in her own words.

From a divine situationship with St Columba through centuries of damp isolation to an unexpected rise to global fame, The Loch of Love charts the personal life of the world’s most elusive icon.

A clown show with mask, puppet, and song, The Loch of Love is an ode to myth, mystery, and the romance of the more-than-human world.

She’s waited centuries. This is her moment.
