About the show
Seconds is a new writing drama by Artság, performed at Clover Studio during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The show follows two women through parallel stories of new beginnings. Sandra is a first-time mother living rurally, whose vision for motherhood is not working out — marred by colic and a secret she's harbouring. Jenny is heartbroken and cynical after a failed romance, navigating life as a single woman again. The play follows both characters as they play the cards dealt, unaware of each other's part in the same game. It runs for 55 minutes, tickets are £14, and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Two parallel stories of starting over, told without sentimentality. The women never meet, but their situations mirror each other in ways that gradually become clear — a quiet, well-constructed drama about heartache and resilience.
