- A couple are teetering on the brink of marriage. As the happiest day of their lives approaches, the panic begins to rise. And everyone’s watching.
Through the eyes of a jaded therapist and an awkward teenage girl we witness a case study of longing, envy, disappointment and violent urges, examining our obsession with seeking fulfilment at any cost.
For anyone who’s ever wanted to stand on a windswept plain, howling for lost love…
Commissioned by leading UK theatre the Lyric Hammersmith, If That’s All There Is was the a sell out hit at the Traverse Theatre at the Edinburgh Festival 09, and has since gone on to tour the extensively in the UK and internationally, most recently as part of the Brits Off Broadway Festival in New York. -

“
If That's All There Is remains the kind of theatrical experience difficult to adequately describe… If you've time in the bustle of the Fringe to fit in one more show, If That All There Is may be the one that fits best”
