About the show
Cruising is a queer romcom play by Dreambite Collective, written by Katrina Bennett. When a dancer and a climate activist meet over margaritas on a Mediterranean cruise, their attraction seems like the perfect holiday fling — until they discover they are both in a relationship with the same person. As potential romance tips into fierce rivalry, the pair launch a competitive campaign of eco-sabotage against the mega-polluting ship. The show runs 60 minutes at Bunker Three and is for audiences aged 14 and above, with strong language noted.
Why see this show?
A subversive, funny romcom that pairs queer romance with eco-protest on a cruise ship. Katrina Bennett's play has a genuinely clever premise and the kind of warmth and chaos that makes new writing at the Fringe exciting.
