Description

A thrilling new play by Eve Leigh and directed by Debbie Hannan, Salty Irina is about two girls falling in love and fighting nazis. After a series of racist murders in their town, Anna and Eireni decide to infiltrate a far-right festival to identify the culprits. But when the nature of their relationship is uncovered, their safety is under threat. A coming-of-age story set against the rise of the far-right.

So poignant and heavy, and so slickly executed. You don't need high production to create a truly thought provoking piece. Much recommended!

A script that didn’t get to the real core of what it was trying to impart . Stereotypical characters - rather than pitching into the heart and soul of injustice and victimisation - pretty average acting and nonsensical physical theatre techniques thrown in without cause or reason. Disappointing - maybe with a better cast and director could work .

Enjoyable tale in an innovative venue (round auditorium with great views from all seats) at Summerhall. Acting was strong and convincing. The arc of the story took a little effort to follow as a lot of ground was covered with minimal help from the script to set up new scenes. Overall, a very good performance helped by a trio of excellent actors. Recommended.

I loved this, I thought that the relationship between Anna and Eireni was explored really well. The acting was intense, and the Roundabout is a great location for that.
