Rolling Stone UK: The 12 stand-out shows of the Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Eva O’Connor’s For Dolores has been selected by Rolling Stone UK as one of the top picks of this years Ed Fringe.

“For Dolores is a work of such jagged and visceral beauty that you leave the auditorium looking like you’ve just disembarked Nemesis at Alton Towers. It explores female friendship at its most intense – a love that is arguably stronger and more complicated than anything romantic of even familial – especially when it is fused by the ending of one life and the cradling of another. Eva O’Connor’s writing is urgent and gorgeous, while Lara McDonnell and Catriona Faint are breathtakingly good as Réaltín and Mo respectively. They are the yin and yang of the poster, with the chemistry that puts the roof of the Traverse in jeopardy. Believe the hype.”

Congratulations to Eva and the team!
