Directed by Laila Noble | Cast - Leyla Aycan, Catriona Faint
An epic queer romance and a love letter to the world’s greatest and most magical arts festival.
It’s the Edinburgh Fringe and the city is suddenly bursting at the seams. Every cul-de-sac and kebab shop is alive with the effervescent fizzing of potential – it is the moment where dreams are made, and hearts are broken.
Jess and Iona are searching… for the greatest show, the finest view, that illusive best chip. As they wrestle with their past and try to avoid the future, they struggle to find the words to confess what they’re really feeling about each other.
Co-presented with Traverse Theatre.
