About Ashley McLean
Pink Dolphin is a new writing theatre show by Ashley McLean, a semi-professional company. The story follows Fiona, whose boredom with life has reached new lows — and who finds herself hoping that an attractive new face at the office might provide a welcome distraction. The show is described as a comic tale of overthinking and repressing what matters most. It runs for 50 minutes at Theatre 2, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and is for audiences aged 18 and over. Content warning: strong language and swearing.
