About this show
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets The L Word in this bittersweet, absurdist launderette meet-cute. Eyes lock. Hearts thump. Palms sweat. But something is off. Secrets of the past are whispered, hidden under the thrum of the washing machines – can what's forgotten be remembered? This OffWestEnd Award-nominated five-star Irish play examines the space between loving someone and not, forgetting and remembering, dirty and clean clothes. A seriously refreshing show on queer love, whirring memory and finding the truth in it all. * (AYoungishPerspective.co.uk). Part of the 2026 Culture Ireland Edinburgh Showcase.

What will you do with your 50 minutes? Kitt asks Noel beside the washing machine in the laundrette as their mixed cycles begin. Will you go and buy eggs? No. They both decide to stay. 3 Stars
There’s something immediately satisfying about the set for Spin Cycle. A washing line stretches across the space with white laundry hanging from it, a woman quietly folds sheets and two humming washing machines.

Spin Cycle left me shocked, and at some points it felt I was watching a real couple flirt, and argue.
