Book NowAbout the show
3..2..1! Celebration of Short Narrative Works is a 30-minute live performance of narrative vignettes by SaltShake Productions, staged at Ivy Studio. In this original show format, four artists each create a 3, 2, and 1 minute continuation of their own story, told in successive acts. The result is a celebration of short-form storytelling that asks: how much time is really needed to tell an engaging story? Featuring resident artists from Seattle, WA, alongside international artists performing at Edinburgh Fringe 2026. Suitable for ages 14 and over; tickets are £8 with a concession of £5.
Why see this show?
An inventive format that challenges artists — and audiences — to find out just how much story can fit in a single minute. At 30 minutes total, it is a brisk, satisfying experiment in narrative economy.
