About the show
For An Eye? is a 50-minute one-person horror comedy by Karina Productions, performed at Theatre 3 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Written by Will Oliver, the show is constructed almost entirely from found objects and follows a shopkeeper who plans to barter his way out of a dreamscape market by any means necessary. Songs, stories, and dismemberment fill this interactive piece as audiences meet strange characters who spend their days and nights browsing the market. Priced at £8, it is suitable for ages 16 and over, with warnings for audience participation, distressing themes, scenes of violence, and strong language.
