About Yuffa Fringe
Wired for Connection is a new writing drama from Yuffa Fringe, a student and youth company, performed at Thistle Theatre during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The show follows Athena as she navigates the complicated world of dating apps while grappling with her sexuality and how to exist in a social-media-driven world that is, paradoxically, often quite antisocial. The piece opens with the hook that you can find true love for $15.99 a month. Running 50 minutes, it is suitable for adults aged 18 and over, with a content warning for strong language.
Why see this show?
A sharp, timely drama about the collision between online connection and real identity — Athena's search for love on dating apps doubles as a search for herself in a world built to distract.
