Summer Fling
Student Theatre at Glasgow • Student/Youth company
About the show
Summer Fling is a satirical comedy by Student Theatre at Glasgow, performed at the Lower Theatre. The show takes the form of a fictional dating show called Summer Fling on Channel 6, featuring a cast including a farmer, a Taco Bell employee, a makeup artist and a landlord-slash-influencer. Running for 50 minutes, it skewers the humorous, absurd and somewhat exploitative aspects of dating shows and the society they reflect, watching young people make fools of themselves for the audience's viewing pleasure.
Why see this show?
A sharp student production that uses the dating show format as a lens on modern society. Funny and knowingly absurd, it delivers the kind of satirical bite that the Fringe does well.
