Sign up to Saving Squatina: a summer camp focused on Shetland's returning population of Angel Sharks! The only catch? You might have to solve a marine murder whilst you’re at it.

The three will have to push against the tide of the island to find the truth that lies beneath the sandy exterior, but what surfaces will force them to confront themselves, scales and all.

About the show

Angelshark is a new comedy thriller from Blue Dot Theatre and New Celts Productions. Three camp members — Mira, Harry and Lottie — sign up to Saving Squatina, a summer camp focused on Shetland's returning population of Angel Sharks. When a marine murder surfaces, the trio must push against the tide of island life to uncover the truth. A story of friendship, mystery and self-discovery, the show blends new writing with comedy in an engaging sixty-minute performance at Space 3.

Why see this show?

A fresh and inventive comedy that swaps the usual Fringe settings for a marine murder mystery set on a Shetland island. Blue Dot Theatre and New Celts Productions bring genuine invention to a show that is both funny and unexpectedly affecting.
