About the show
Spin Cycle is a bittersweet, absurdist Irish play by Berserk Theatre, set in a launderette where eyes lock, hearts thump and secrets of the past are whispered under the thrum of washing machines. The play examines the space between loving someone and not, between forgetting and remembering, dirty and clean clothes. An OffWestEnd Award-nominated production, it explores queer love, whirring memory and finding the truth in it all. The 60-minute show is performed at Clover as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and above.
Why see this show?
