For Dolores is a contemporary drama by Fishamble in association with Belltable, GIAF and Traverse, performed at Traverse 2 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Mo, the Scottish one, and Réaltín, the Irish one, partied and blazed their way through the Edinburgh student dream. Set in Glasgow a couple of years later, the play is about friendship, motherhood and coming to terms with your worst mistakes. Like twin stars in obsessive orbit, theirs is a friendship, a rivalry and an adventure. It asks: how far will they go for love? The show runs for 80 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp two-hander about friendship, motherhood and the mistakes we can't undo. The shift from Edinburgh student life to Glasgow reality gives the story real weight — an intimate drama from a company with serious theatrical pedigree.
