About the show
Waiting for a Call is a character comedy theatre show by Raimi Trilogy Productions, performing at The Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Michael is waiting for a very important call, but is continually distracted by uninvited guests: his siblings, who arrive at his apartment to collect pieces of work he helped with. His adoring neighbour — a fellow writer who shares a secret with him — arrives too. The two fancy each other. When Michael's family discover their little brother has a crush on his neighbour, they attempt to coach him in the mysterious ways of love. The show runs for 90 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged fourteen and over. Tickets are £16.
Why see this show?
A warm and character-rich comedy about a writer waiting for one phone call and getting an entire family's worth of chaos instead. Funny, romantic and gently observed.
