About the show
Sobremesa is a new writing drama performed at Blether at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It is Alma's birthday, and her sister Billie has brought a new boyfriend to dinner. He seems perfect at first, but as the wine flows and conversation turns to religion, politics, money and sex, Alma grows increasingly unsettled. The play is an intimate drama about sisterhood, memory and misogyny, asking how well we really know the people we love and whether we should protect them from their own mistakes. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A dinner table drama that tightens as the evening wears on — Sobremesa builds its unease through conversation and the small signals only a sister would catch. Sharp new writing that trusts its audience to read between the lines.
