About the show
86 is an immersive new writing theatre piece by And So On Theatre, performed at Space 1 during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set on New Year's Eve in a dingy pool bar, the audience witnesses the staff of The Windsor Arms Bistro launching into their end-of-year celebrations — karaoke, pool, drinks, and the messy tangle of interpersonal and professional relationships. Running 45 minutes, rated 16+, with content warnings for distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, scenes of sexual violence, strong language, and references to drug use.
Why see this show?
An immersive New Year's Eve night out with the staff of The Windsor Arms Bistro — karaoke, pool, unresolved tensions, and the question of whether any of them can break out of their monotony before midnight.
