For Dolores

"When beautiful worlds collide"

Four-time Fringe First and Olivier Award winning Fishamble presents For Dolores by Fringe First Award winning Eva O’Connor.

Mo (the Scottish one) and Réaltín (the Irish one) partied, played and blazed their way through the Edinburgh student dream.

Set in Glasgow a couple of years later, For Dolores is about friendship, motherhood and coming to terms with your worst mistakes.

Like twin stars in obsessive orbit, it's a friendship, a rivalry and an adventure. Risk is a delicious pleasure: until it all explodes in the blink of an eye.

How far will they go for love?

For Dolores is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
