A couple are teetering on the brink of marriage. As the happiest day of their lives approaches, the panic begins to rise. And everybody’s watching. Through the eyes of a jaded therapist and an awkward teenage girl we witness a surreal and hilarious case study of longing, envy, disappointment, and violent urges.
Inspired by the Peggy Lee song Is that all there is? the award-winning Inspector Sands present their sell-out hit from Edinburgh Fringe 2009. Using a combination of music, and physical and visual theatre, it examines our constant longing for more, and asks whether life ever truly fulfils our expectations of happiness.
