It’s Back! We first tried this on St. Valentine’s day and it was a hit! A palpable hit. Since then we have tinkered with it a bit and are now able to offer the experience to our viewers in Scotland and Eire. How international can one truly be without first engaging with those countries so close and so dear to our hearts and heritage?
Now it is possible to Speed Date with a much wider range of artists as we head out on tour to the Edinburgh Festival at the Forest Fringe and the Dublin Fringe Festival.
A whole host of theatre makers and artists create for you a private, one-on-one, four minute date. You arrive, get a dance card and date away. With plenty of other fringe dates and real, actual, getting-to-know you’s its a beguiling mix of desire and intensity.
