About this show
YESYESNONO (we were promised honey, Nation) return to Summerhall with another prophetic act of storytelling. Written and performed by Sam Ward, it's a hallucinogenic road trip through a world of anomalies. It's about holes appearing in the ground and prices that just go up. It's about cartographers, bubbles, crashes and psychics. It's about trying to understand what's going wrong... and a world that refuses to be understood. Praise for previous work: 'Something really special' * (BritishTheatre.com). 'An aerial feat of storytelling' * (Scotsman). 'An apocalyptic, strange hour of theatre' * (Financial Times).
