About the show
STAY is a solo show by Ines Wurth Presents, performed at The Penny as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Sally cherishes her organised, independent life — answering to no one — until a small act of kindness pulls her into the world of a grieving widower and his strong-willed child. Running for 60 minutes, this sharply funny and deeply moving piece follows Sally's unexpected journey from bystander to caregiver, exploring love, grief, and found family with wit and candour.
Why see this show?
A solo show that balances sharp humour with genuine emotional weight, STAY makes the case that love and family can arrive unbidden — and that choosing to stay, through chaos and sorrow, might be the bravest thing a person can do.
