my friend the mountain

Written and Performed by Cath Barrett

Directed by Sarah Rose Graber

The hills are where Skye feels safe. They are her comfort, her sanctuary, her friends. When her life starts to unravel, The Mountain is her trusted confidant and a place to walk solo, but not alone. Out here she has the freedom to feel and talk. The Mountain hears her and knows what she needs. But does Skye?

A love letter to the hills of Scotland, the release they give us from the pressures of hustle culture and how the simple joy of putting one foot in front of the other is always enough.

My Friend The Mountain debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 18-23 August 2025. The show was most recently performed at Studio Moffat on 21 February 2026.
