Go West!
AIMSIR Theatre • Semi-professional company
About the show
Go West! is a 50-minute absurdist, experimental theatre piece by Irish company AIMSIR Theatre, performed at the Upper Theatre (Thrust) at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. There is a desert and a map, a veterinarian and a dog, a diary and an obituary, and somebody else out there. The piece maps legacy, sunshine and fervent hope, promising to teach you a dead language and send you down a famine road — and assuring you it's all going to turn out fine. Tickets are £11 with a concession of £9, suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
