LOOKING FOR GIANTS
Three crushes. Three stories:
A university tutor who wages academic warfare.
A dating app match who teases and slips through fingers.
A school crush who looks at you like no one else has before.
Is obsession even about the person you're obsessed with? When desire meets fantasy, we transform someone into something - something that we need them to be, and in turn something that allows us to be someone else.
A one-woman show, Looking for Giants sees our narrator enter the minds of the men she can’t stop thinking about, inhabiting the objects of her obsession. When the boundaries between self and other start to blur, who’s in control of the narrative?
Looking for Giants previewed at Camden People’s Theatre in 2023, before its Edinburgh run at Underbelly Cowgate. It transferred to King’s Head Theatre in London for a two week run in January 2025.
