Presented by Last Dodo Entertainment at Little Cellar, this is storytelling rooted in a genuine incident with real consequences.

Why see this show?

A true story about how one throwaway moment can unravel everything. Free to attend, and told with the distance of a decade's perspective, this is compact, real and very Edinburgh.
