About Self, Ilana Rubin
Murder She Hoped is a dark comedy solo show by Ilana Rubin, performed at The Saloon Bar at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is likened to a crime procedural in which Rubin notices every detail, connects the dots, and chases the truth no matter the cost. Largely against her will, she turns chaos and injurious misadventures into an investigation the audience won't see coming. Running for 30 minutes, it is recommended for audiences aged 18 and over and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A sharp, unexpected dark comedy that plays like a crime procedural of everyday life. Ilana Rubin draws the audience into her web of red strings and data points, building to an investigation you genuinely won't see coming.
