Short Pleasures Long Woes is a rumination on the tale of Adam and Eve. Exploring the dynamics of the story through a series of vignettes, this duologue confronts the inexorcisable ghosts that linger around us as well as the mistakes we have made or the thoughts too shameful to express.
Presented by That What’s Wild, Short Pleasures Long Woes is written by Cesca Echlin after her critically acclaimed debut Looking for Giants premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023.
