Description
Seven teenagers (and a Barbie doll) invite you to a joyfully absurd play about love – in all its weird and wonderful forms. Square Pegs ask lots of questions about what it means to be human in their life-imitating-art play about growing up and in its own inimitable, absurdist fashion, offer absolutely no answers whatsoever! Offie-nominated Macready Theatre Young Actors share tales of breakups, heartache and what it’s like to fall in love with the Berlin Wall with fast-paced, fun-filled story-telling. ‘A short spectacular showcase’ ***** (MumbleTheatre.net). ‘Joyous’ **** (BroadwayBaby.com).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

II really enjoyed the show and will come to see it again. The sx young actors delivered a stunning performance. Wonderful facial expressions, precise articulation and body language brought the wonderful script to life. How wonderful it was to watch to Berlin Wall in its different aspects (do barbed wire, do more concrete, ...) being impersonated by the actors - under instructions given in German (with subtitles). The different aspects of love, including tragic loss and falling in love with objects were discussed and one did wonder how so much content could be included in such a compact play. There was moderate audience participation and everything was bound together by some very nice saxophone licks.I really enjoyed the show and will come to see it again.

It was a pleasure to watch and listen!

This show is put on by a highly talented group of young people. It is humorous but at the same time thought provoking. I would recommend this show to any who wants to be moved and entertained.

An exploration into the definition of love. Funny and thought provoking, while encouraging me to dance along to the live saxophone player. A show I would recommend to anyone... and I'd probably go and see again myself too.

Standout writing and deeply enrapturing performances, let alone for such a young company! Definitely a show to see.

Didn’t know what to expect, but we were blown away by this amazing group of performers. A brilliantly written story of love expertly portrayed by a group of truly dynamic and multi-talented artists. By far my favourite show of the Fringe!!!

A thoughtful, inventive 'anatomy of love' in various forms (gay, straight, lasting, transient, for people, dolls and even concrete objects), presented with verve and self-deprecating humour by 7 young actors, one of whom is as fluent delivering lines in German as in English (translation is provided). A shame the excellent saxophonist didn't get more chance to shine. Quirky, zany, and ultimately with a simple message at heart.
