Zofia Zerphy's Offie award-winning romcom, 'Spin Cycle', is being performed at Underbelly Bristo Square in Edinburgh. The play, which features a queer meet-cute, explores what remains after a relationship ends and the potential benefits of forgetting past mistakes.
Set in a launderette, the encounter between Kitt (Zofia Zerphy) and Noel (Rhiannon Bell) is timed by a 50-minute washing machine cycle. The characters, an American named Kitt and a Northern Irish non-binary stranger named Noel, discuss art, exes, and laundry tabs, with an instant connection despite their differing backgrounds.
The narrative involves memory loss, leading to discussions about past relationships and a sense that the characters may have met before. While the attraction between Kitt and Noel is evident, the play does not provide an explanation for the selective memories that drive the story.
