The Pash
A woman has an unexpected encounter with a stranger on a spontaneous night out, sparking an introspective journey and unleashing a renewed freedom to see and be herself. Emoji’s, bourbon, and balled briefs all feature in this fun, fast-paced, yet thought-provoking escapade set amongst the buzz and vibe of the Adelaide Fringe. A wildly honest, sharp-witted, entertaining foray into the power of moments as a catalyst for transformation. After a sell-out, critically acclaimed premiere season in 2021, ‘The Pash’ is returning for a must-see Fringe season in 2022!
