What on earth is House Fly?
A little surreal.Very human.Completely unforgettable.
A house fly has learnt human behaviour - she has something important to tell us.
Tess O’Shea’s dirty, absurd character show takes a fly’s-eye view of modern life, the worldwide insect shortage and our complicated relationship with the creatures buzzing around us.
It is wonderfully strange, playfully brought to life through physical comedy, clowning and one extraordinary pair of wings. No theatre homework required - just bring your curiosity.
A bold Fringe show, close to home
The sort of original live performance you might discover in Edinburgh - this time, just down the road.
Funny, original and sneakily thoughtful
Kafka and Dalí hover in the background; laughter and a very opinionated fly take centre stage.
An exclusive conversation with Tess
Stay after the performance for a special Q&A with the show’s writer and performer, with a licensed bar open during the event.
A good night out. A little good in the world.
Every ticket helps climate restoration.
All profits from the evening go to climate restoration through Films for Change, supporting its Uganda-based Rwenzori Rainmakers work to regenerate habitats, restore forest cover and strengthen local communities.
The buzz from Edinburgh
It sees ordinary life from a very unusual angle.
A fly’s observations on the absurdity of modern life.
