About

What do a dead body, a break-up, a family lunch and a talking plant all have in common? They make up the collection of plays for Long Story Short.

  • Two Sides: Mark and Gemma have broken up, but whose version is true?

  • I Wrote a Play: Sunday lunch with the family takes a surreal twist when the mum enforces a play read on her unsuspecting family.

  • Hello Plant: A talking houseplant gives her owner unsolicited dating advice.

  • 15 Minutes To Solve a Murder: Award-winning, period farce, where everyone is desperate to solve Tubby’s death.

Long Story Short is playing at the Bread & Roses on 28 July and at the Edinburgh Fringe from 17 - 22 August.
