You Are What You Eat is a theatre comedy by Beautiful Death Theatre Company, set in the gritty underbelly of fictional seventies London. Two aspiring detectives, Lewis and Tom, find themselves caught up in a deadly mystery involving corrupt police, a crime boss and the death of a young woman. With the odds stacked against them and bullets flying, their only weapons are their wits, awkward heroics, a sarcastic sister and a belief they might just be the city's last hope. The show runs for 70 minutes at Space 1, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A comedy-thriller set in a vivid period world, with two endearingly out-of-their-depth detectives at its centre. Fast-paced, funny and genuinely tense in equal measure.
